Validity of IMUs in Comparison to a Marker-Based-Motion Capture System for Spatio-Temporal Parameters During Wheelchair Propulsion.
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 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
backgroundManual wheelchair propulsion is often associated with pain in the upper extremities. Recording spatio-temporal parameters can optimize movement patterns and prevent injuries. This study compares a marker-based camera system with inertial measurement units to validate their use in wheelchair propulsion on a test stand.
methodsSpatio-temporal parameters of 27 manual wheelchair users propelling at three self-selected speeds (slow, normal, fast) were simultaneously recorded using a marker-based camera system and inertial measurement units, and subsequently compared between both systems.
resultsA high correlation was observed among all spatio-temporal parameters (
conclusionsThe spatio-temporal parameters recorded using inertial measurement units are suitable for the evaluation of manual wheelchair propulsion and can be used in a clinical context. The low acquisition costs and simple installation process may increase the use of inertial measurement units in the future.
