Aquatic Treadmill Walking Lowers Pelvic Motion Irregularity in Typically Developing and Children With Cerebral Palsy.
Trial report in American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of aquatic treadmill walking on the pelvic dynamics of children with cerebral palsy.
designThe study is a block-randomized cross-over design with 8 children with cerebral palsy and 15 typically developing children. All participants walked at fast, normal, and slow speeds on an aquatic (WET) treadmill and conventional (DRY) treadmill. Inertial measurement units recorded the participants' pelvic angles in the mediolateral, anteroposterior, and axial angles from which sample entropy values were determined.
resultsA multilevel model showed decreased irregularity in the pelvic dynamics of both cerebral palsy and typically developing groups in WET conditions compared with DRY and at slower compared with higher speeds in the mediolateral and axial planes. For the anteroposterior plane, the irregularity of the pelvic motion decreased at the slow speed-WET condition compared with the fast trial.
conclusionsThe study shows the potential of the aquatic treadmill environment to induce more typical postural dynamics for children with cerebral palsy compared with conventional dry treadmills. Postural dynamics also had decreased irregularity at slower walking speeds. A longitudinal study would show the retention tendencies of observed impacts on children with cerebral palsy.
