Identifying right and left impact using the derivative of linear resultant acceleration from a single sacrum-mounted IMU.
Article in Wearable technologies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study introduces a novel method for gait analysis using a single inertial measurement unit placed on the sacrum. This method is valid not only on level ground but also on incline and decline conditions. The method leverages the "crackle" function, the third derivative of the sacral resultant acceleration, to identify right and left gait events. This approach is particularly effective in capturing the initial peak in acceleration data during foot impact with the ground, often overlooked by other methods. The study aimed to demonstrate the method's accuracy in identifying the right- and left-side impacts during level ground, incline, and decline runs across a range of speeds. Additionally, the algorithm was applied in outdoor running scenarios, where it performed very well, further validating its robustness and reliability. The results are compared with other existing methods to highlight the effectiveness of this approach.
