Anophthalmic Socket Motility Assessment Methods from a Systematic Review

Thirty-five studies encompassing 1,819 patients were systematically reviewed to categorize methods for assessing socket and prosthetic motility following enucleation or evisceration. The review, conducted by Muhannad A. Alnahdi and published on figshare in 2026, analyzed literature from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus up to September 2024. It identified both qualitative and quantitative assessment techniques and noted substantial methodological heterogeneity.

Use Cases

• Comparing qualitative versus quantitative motility assessment methods based on the review's categorization.
• Identifying gaps in reporting standards for socket motility based on the observed heterogeneity in measurement techniques.
• Designing future clinical studies with standardized assessment approaches based on the review's findings.

Strengths

• Systematic review conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, which suggests a structured methodology.
• Analysis of 35 studies covering 1,819 patients provides a defined scope of evidence.
• Clear categorization of assessment methods into qualitative and quantitative groups.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 1.0 MB PDF review document; the underlying primary data from the 35 studies is not included.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any extracted data are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
