No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if weight-bearing crutch technology that delivers active feedback to patients during their treatment will impact patient compliance with physician instructions.

Conditions

  • Fracture Healing

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Weight-Bearing Feedback

Feedback on how much weight patients are exerting on their crutch/injured lower extremity (measured via Smart Crutch Tip) will be delivered to their mobile phones.

DEVICE

Smart Crutch Tip

The device is attached to the crutch and measures how much weight-bearing load is exerted onto its axis. The device is capable of transmitting this data into the patient and physicians' user interface.
