The Balance Tracking System (BTrackS) for Postural Control Assessment/Training - a Decade of Research.
Review in Medical devices (Auckland, N.Z.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 Balance Tracking System (BTrackS) is a medical device developed over a decade ago as a low-cost and portable solution to expensive and cumbersome force plate balance measurement instruments. Consisting of the BTrackS Balance Plate and Assess Balance software, this technology is now employed worldwide by thousands of practitioners. An evidence base of more than 80 research studies had been published using BTrackS technology. This includes the positive establishment of device/protocol validity and reliability, normative data, as well as translational work comparing balance amongst a variety of sample populations. In addition, BTrackS has been successfully used for both evaluating the efficacy of balance interventions, manipulations, and devices, including several BTrackS bio-feedback-based training protocols themselves. The present narrative review compiles and summarizes this research in single source as a repository for BTrackS practitioners, and as a guide for informing future research efforts.
