Clinical Trial of an Insole Sensor to Determine Optimal Limb Loading in the Rehabilitation of Ankle Fractures
The purpose of this study is to use a novel load monitoring technology to correlate limb
loading to ankle fracture outcomes. This study will collect continuous limb loading data and
will provide the first objective insight into how limb loading directs fracture healing.
