Advances in flexible wearable pressure/strain sensors for motion monitoring in orthopaedic sports medicine.
Review in Journal of orthopaedic translation, 2026. 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
The growing demand for real-time, high-resolution motion monitoring in orthopaedic sports medicine is driving the development of flexible wearable pressure/strain sensors. These devices, which transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical signals via piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and triboelectric mechanisms, enable continuous biomechanical data acquisition in dynamic, real-world settings, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional lab-based methods. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in wearable pressure/strain sensors, covering fundamental sensing mechanisms and innovative design strategies, including using elastomers, polymer thin films, electronic textiles, and hydrogels. The review also highlights key emerging trends, such as microstructured, bioinspired, multimodal, and machine-learning-enabled signal-processing designs, which have significantly enhanced sensor performance by addressing challenges such as limited sensitivity, narrow detection range, environmental interference, and long-term instability. These sensors are now integrated into wearable devices with diverse applications in orthopaedic sports medicine, including real-time motion tracking, gait analysis, injury prediction and diagnosis, rehabilitation assessment, and human-machine interaction. This review also deliberates on existing limitations and delineates future directions for translating wearable pressure/strain sensors into practical orthopaedic sports medicine applications. The translational potential of this article: To address the limitations of traditional lab-bound motion monitoring, such as high costs and restricted environments, it is essential to leverage the progress in flexible wearable sensing technology. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in wearable pressure/strain sensors, highlighting their role in capturing high-resolution biomechanical data in real-world settings. By enabling continuous motion monitoring and objective assessment, these advancements offer valuable insights to improve clinical outcomes in orthopaedic sports medicine, with significant translational potential.
