Efficacy of Motion Sensor Telerehabilitation for Balance and Mobility in Parkinson's Disease: A Nonrandomized Controlled Pilot Study.
Article in International journal of telemedicine and applications, 2026. 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
Purpose: We developed an innovative telerehabilitation system using a 3D camera with motion sensors that provided real-time feedback. This study is aimed at evaluating its efficacy in improving balance, gait, and mobility, as well as its feasibility in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Materials and Methods: Participants with idiopathic PD self-selected into either a telerehabilitation (tele) group or a hospital-based rehabilitation (hospital) group. The tele group received two initial sessions of hospital-based rehabilitation sessions, followed by 14 telerehabilitation sessions using the innovative system. The hospital group received 16 sessions of hospital-based rehabilitation. Outcome measures included Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, Chula Parkinson Mobility Scale (Chula PMS) score, gait speed, and step length. The feasibility of the telerehabilitation system was also assessed. Results: Forty-six participants were recruited (tele group: Conclusions: The motion sensor telerehabilitation significantly improved balance and mobility in PD patients with no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Feasibility was high. However, the BBS improvements did not reach the minimal clinically important difference, indicating the need for further investigation.
