Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
