Differentiating post-stroke patients from healthy individuals via vision-based skeleton-optical fusion.
Article in Journal of neuroengineering and 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
backgroundAt present, the analysis of abnormal gait in post-stroke patients predominantly relies on wearable devices. However, with the advancements in computer vision technology, the integration of deep learning algorithms has introduced new possibilities for research. In particular, multi-modal fusion technology can effectively combine various modalities obtained through vision-based approaches, enabling more comprehensive and accurate representation of abnormal gait information in post-stroke patients.
methodsThe study recruited 70 post-stroke patients and 70 healthy individuals to capture video recordings of their gait. We used Human Pose Estimation (HPE) to extract skeleton points from each frame and computed the optical flow information of these points and the corresponding angular variations of the lower limbs. Additionally, depth space features were extracted using ResNet-50 and subsequently integrated. For classification, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network was employed to analyze the fused features.
resultsTo evaluate the effectiveness of the feature extraction method, we tested it on both an open dataset and a self-collected clinical dataset, comparing it with CNN-RNN and Vision Transformer (ViT). The results from the LSTM network, after inputting the fused features, demonstrated optimal performance with 2 layers and 128 hidden units, achieving accuracies of 0.8794±0.0447 and 0.8778±0.0347, respectively.
conclusionIt was found that optical flow information calculated based on skeleton points, combined with variations in knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion angles, improved the interpretability of the analytical framework. This improvement enables clinicians to gain a clearer understanding of the model's decision-making process, thereby increasing their confidence in its outputs. By employing a multi-modal fusion approach, information from different modalities is integrated, which not only broadens the analytical perspectives but also facilitates clinicians' deeper insights into the patient's gait characteristics.
