The Effects of Sensory Electrical Stimulation and Local Vibration on Motor Learning and Motor Function.
Review in Physical therapy research, 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
Sensory afferent inputs play a crucial role in neuromuscular control. Enhancing sensory input through electrical or mechanical stimulation of the limbs may improve motor function and facilitate motor learning. This scoping review synthesizes literature investigating the effects of sensory electrical stimulation (SES) and local vibration (LV) on motor function and learning in both healthy individuals and those with musculoskeletal or neurological disorders. The findings suggest that SES can enhance motor learning and improve motor function. Furthermore, its efficacy is maximized when combined with rehabilitation programs and motor training rather than being used as a stand-alone intervention. Similarly, LV applied to muscle or tendon regions enhances proprioceptive input, thereby improving motor control and learning. The clinical benefits of LV, like those of SES, can be augmented by incorporating it into motor training regimens. Future research should focus on optimizing stimulation parameters and determining the most effective integration strategies for rehabilitation programs to maximize therapeutic outcomes.
