How Smart Crutch Tip Devices Work

Patient adheres to WB program using feedback cues from tips and app. Data is sent to doctor’s phone and PC

Doctor sets weight bearing (WB) program for duration of patient’s recovery

Patient adjusts the load on injured leg according to doctor’s instructions

Doctor monitors how the patient loads the injured leg, addresses patient concerns, and adapts program to patient’s needs

Clinical Research

proved significant patient outcomes using a weight-bearing tracking
biofeedback device
Statement
Clinical evidence
Link
Statement

The AO protocols for trauma aftercare formulated 50 years ago. They suggest restricted NO WB for 12 weeks. To optimize it, Early and Permission WB were designed

Clinical evidence

PWB might be implemented in trauma patients with fractures of the pelvis and lower extremities.
EWB can be considered safe and effective in selected cases. Level of evidence Therapeutic Level III.

Statement

Early and PWB leads to 6-8 weeks faster rehabilitation, without complications

Clinical evidence

The median time to full WB was 12 weeks (for 78 patients with PWB protocols) instead of 20 (for 78 patients with old AO protocols)

Statement

However, 87% of doctors don’t prescribe Early or PWB

Clinical evidence

11.7% – started immediately with weight bearing,
4.5% – after 2 weeks
55.9% – recommended starting WB 6 weeks post-operatively.
15.3% – after 12 weeks

Statement

Because doctors understand – patients can’t follow PWB protocols without a biofeedback device

Clinical evidence

Meanwhile, the biofeedback device is superior method in helping patient complaining with Early or PWB

Statement

A strong immediate effect on partial weight-bearing compliance which effect lasts up to 24 hours and effective way to train patients to comply with weight bearing

Clinical evidence

12 participants were trained with a biofeedback device to comply with touch-down weight-bearing instructions (25 lb). Following initial biofeedback training at 25 lb, participants bore an average of 20.4±2.12 lb.

Statement

The ComeBack Mobility crutch tip system should be considered for clinical use as a valid tool

Clinical evidence

CBM device provides 0.5-1% of accuracy measure between 10% and 50% of partial weight-bearing
