Deduction of Back Pain Patients Using EMG Technology and Inertial Sensors During Functional Tests.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Low back pain (LBP) represents an immense economic burden, with a lifetime prevalence of up to 84%. However, conventional diagnostic methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or X-rays provide only limited information about the pathogenesis and specific pain-related functional limitations. Wearable inertial sensors (IMU) and electromyography sensors (EMG) offer an expanded spectrum for the targeted identification and diagnosis of LBP. The aim of the study is to develop and evaluate a standardized multi-sensor functional assessment protocol for the subcategorization of functional deficits in LBP. Based on a systematic literature review, a standardized and objectively measurable functional LBP assessment protocol was defined that tests fatigue resistance, neuromuscular control, lumbopelvic stability, and global trunk musculature. Subsequently, 38 individuals were recruited in a prospective cross-sectional study and divided into three groups: "healthy," "mild pain," and "severe pain." These individuals underwent an assessment. The two pain groups differed significantly from the symptom-free individuals in all previously defined functional levels. In addition, the two pain groups also differed significantly from each other. The functional assessment, which incorporates IMUs and EMG sensors as central diagnostic elements, enables the identification of functional deficits and associated neuromuscular characteristics, thus enabling individualized therapy.
