Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Wearable Device Exercise for Older Adults

A 29.0 KB document by Yaguang Li, last updated March 2026, contains the supplementary file for a systematic review and meta-analysis. This review analyzed 17 studies involving 611 participants to evaluate the effectiveness of wearable electronic device-based exercise on lower limb strength and balance in older adults. The meta-analysis found significant improvements in lower limb strength and balance, with results showing high heterogeneity for strength outcomes.

Use Cases

• Conducting secondary analysis of meta-analytic results based on the reported standardized mean differences and confidence intervals.
• Designing new intervention studies based on the effective parameters identified in the subgroup analysis (e.g., frequency, session duration).
• Training models to predict intervention effectiveness based on study characteristics and outcome measures described in the review.
• Benchmarking new wearable device studies against the aggregated evidence for lower limb strength and balance outcomes.

Strengths

• Includes results from a meta-analysis of 17 studies with 611 total participants, providing aggregated evidence.
• Reports specific statistical outcomes, including standardized mean differences (SMDs), confidence intervals, and heterogeneity metrics (I²).
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating open reuse and sharing.
• The review followed PRISMA guidelines and is registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251273186), indicating a structured methodology.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 29.0 KB DOCX file; the actual underlying study data is not included, limiting direct analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the text after download.
• The high heterogeneity (I²=81%) for the lower limb strength outcome suggests substantial variability across the included studies.
