AI-Assisted Dynamic Postural Control Screening to Improve Functional Mobility in Older Adult Populations: Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in JMIR aging, 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
Background: Falls are a major cause of disability among older adults, and early identification of functional decline is essential for prevention. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems may enhance mobility screening by providing objective, real-time feedback. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether AI-assisted dynamic postural control screening combined with adaptive training improves functional mobility outcomes in older adult populations. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 2005 older adults recruited from community centers and health care institutions in Keelung, Taiwan. Participants were assigned to either an experimental group (n=1451), which underwent AI-assisted screening with adaptive exercise prescriptions, or a control group (n=554), which completed follow-ups through regular physical assessments with standard care without AI-tailored training. The AI system integrated skeletal tracking with the Short Physical Performance Battery to assess balance, gait speed (4-m walk), and sit-to-stand performance. Independent-samples 2-tailed t tests and repeated-measures ANOVA were applied, and effect sizes (Cohen d and η²) with 95% CIs were reported. Results: The experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvements compared with the control group in Short Physical Performance Battery scores (Δ=0.8 vs 0.3; t2003=3.41; P=.001; Cohen d=0.45, 95% CI 0.18-0.72), gait speed (Δ=15 cm/s vs 5 cm/s; t2003=4.85; P<.001; Cohen d=0.62, 95% CI 0.35-0.88), and sit-to-stand time (Δ=-1.4 s vs -0.6 s; t2003=3.12; P=.002; Cohen d=0.39, 95% CI 0.12-0.65). Here "Δ" refers to the change score, calculated as post-intervention minus baseline (ie, the amount of improvement during the study period). Participation rate was strongly associated with outcomes, with 1-way ANOVA showing significant group differences (F2,1448=8.74-12.21; P<.001; η²=0.07-0.10). Conclusions: AI-assisted dynamic postural control screening combined with adaptive training substantially improved functional performance in mobility, balance, and gait among older adults. While fall incidence was not directly measured, these functional gains may have implications for fall risk reduction. Future longitudinal studies with extended follow-up (12-24 mo) and prospective fall incidence tracking across diverse populations are required to validate whether these improvements translate into actual reductions in fall risk.
