Study Groups

Weight-Bearing Feedback Delivered to Mobile Phone
The weight-bearing tracking system is attached to the patient's crutch and calculates how much weight is being put on the crutch. Feedback of this data can be delivered to the patient through a mobile phone application. For Arm A of the study, feedback is delivered to the patient's paired mobile phone, providing them information on how much weight they are exerting on their crutch/injured lower extremity.
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.
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.
No Weight-Bearing Feedback
The weight-bearing tracking system is attached to the patient's crutch and calculates how much weight is being put on the crutch. For Arm B, no feedback about weight-bearing status is delivered to the patient.
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.
