Completed Knowledge-focused Sponsor: Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested a wearable device called the Mobility Toolkit to measure how well people walk after recovering from serious leg fractures. Researchers followed 244 adults who had surgery for ankle, shin, or heel fractures, having them wear the device during clinic visits over a year. The goal was to see if this technology could provide better information about recovery than standard methods alone.
