Wearable Sensors for Ensuring Sports Safety in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often face unique risks during sports activities due to challenges such as motor coordination difficulties, sensory sensitivities, and communication impairments. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the use of wearable sensor technologies to enhance the safety and participation of children with ASD in sports. Utilizing a systematic approach, we analyze 144 papers identified through advanced search methodology. Our findings reveal that wearable sensors can monitor physiological signals like heart rate variability and electrodermal activity and biomechanical signals such as movement patterns to detect early signs of distress, anxiety, or potential injury. The integration of these technologies into sports settings for children with ASD presents significant potential for improving safety, reducing participation barriers, and enhancing overall well-being. Key findings indicate that while the application of wearable sensors in this context is still emerging, early results are promising. However, challenges remain regarding device usability, data privacy, and the need for further research to validate the effectiveness of these technologies in real-world sports environments. This review highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, technology developers, educators, and caregivers to develop and implement wearable sensor solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of children with ASD, thereby promoting safer and more inclusive sports participation.
