Emerging Applications of Augmented and Mixed Reality Technologies in Motor Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review.
Article 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 9 papers.
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
backgroundAugmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) are emerging technologies with notable potential for motor rehabilitation. Given the novelty and breadth of this field, this scoping review aims to identify how and to what extent AR and MR technologies are used in motor rehabilitation.
methodsWe conducted a search in Scopus and PubMed (2010-2024), following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. In the analysis, we focused on four key aspects: (I) the AR/MR display technologies, (II) the sensors used to collect data to generate the augmented information, (III) the pathologies addressed, and (IV) the assessment of usability and acceptability.
resultsAmong 105 selected studies, 58% developed new prototypes, while 42% tested existing systems. Head-mounted displays were the most common device (56.2%), followed by monitors (34.3%) and video projectors (14.3%). The most commonly used sensors were RGB-D cameras (31.4%), sensors for localization and mapping (33.3%), normal cameras (17.1%), and electromyography sensors (14.3%). Regarding the target pathology, 34.2% of studies did not focus on a specific pathology, 26.7% were on stroke, 10.5% on limb loss, and 9.5% on Parkinson's disease. Over half (51.4%) of the studies investigated usability and acceptance.
conclusionsAR/MR technologies hold promise for motor rehabilitation, but limited comparative studies and long-term investigations currently hinder a clear understanding of their benefits.
