Differences in gait kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters among different Big Five personality types under emotional states: a three-dimensional motion capture study.

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
This study addresses the lack of research on the mechanisms linking personality traits, emotional states, and gait patterns by systematically investigating the interactive effects of the Big Five personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) and three emotional states (pleasure, anger, and sadness) on walking gait. Using the Qualisys Track Manager three-dimensional motion capture system, lower limb joint kinematic data and spatiotemporal gait parameters were collected from 30 participants with typical personality profiles (prescreened using standardized scales). The results showed that under all three emotional conditions, individuals high in neuroticism, extraversion, and openness exhibited significantly lower dynamic stability, whereas those high in agreeableness and conscientiousness demonstrated greater stability. Gait speed and locomotor efficiency were significantly reduced in individuals high in neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, while those high in extraversion and openness maintained a moderately fast walking speed. Moreover, distinct patterns of joint functional status were observed across different personality types. These findings not only provide quantifiable biomechanical biomarkers for mental health risk assessment but also establish an empirical foundation for personality-specific gait simulation in virtual character modeling.
