Problem
Following lower limb injuries, patients often struggle to adhere to prescribed weight-bearing (WB) protocols during rehabilitation, leading to delayed healing, increased risk of complications, and prolonged recovery times. Traditional methods lack real-time feedback, making it difficult for patients to accurately control the load on the injured limb.
Solution
ComeBack Mobility offers Smart Crutch Tips, a biofeedback device that attaches to standard crutches or canes, providing real-time monitoring of weight-bearing compliance. The system uses sensors in the crutch tips to measure the load applied to the injured leg, and provides feedback to the patient via a mobile app. This enables patients to actively manage their weight-bearing and adhere to prescribed protocols, while also providing clinicians with objective data to track patient progress and adjust treatment plans. The Smart Crutch Tips system promotes early and permissive weight-bearing, leading to faster rehabilitation, reduced complications, and improved patient outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, rehabilitation specialists, and hospitals treating patients recovering from lower limb injuries, as well as procurement departments looking for innovative rehabilitation solutions.
