For hospitals’ rehabilitation departments & patients after lower limb injuries to increase patient compliance and expedite their recovery
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
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.
Early and PWB leads to 6-8 weeks faster rehabilitation, without complications
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)
However, 87% of doctors don’t prescribe Early or PWB
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
Because doctors understand – patients can’t follow PWB protocols without a biofeedback device
Meanwhile, the biofeedback device is superior method in helping patient complaining with Early or PWB
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
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.
The ComeBack Mobility crutch tip system should be considered for clinical use as a valid tool
CBM device provides 0.5-1% of accuracy measure between 10% and 50% of partial weight-bearing
With Smart Crutch Tips, your doctor can monitor the course of rehabilitation and help you avoid complications
With Smart Crutch Tips, your doctor can monitor the course of rehabilitation and help you avoid complications
Regarding the physicians using our product, we have been working with orthopedic surgeons and rehabilitation specialists in several leading healthcare institutions.
The idea of attaching Smart Tips to crutches was tested with real patients, and unlike insoles, Smart Crutch Tips are:
– Always with the patient, even at night, when the patient is barefoot
– More durable – 3 years of use
– Available to consumers of any age and shoe size
– More affordable to implement
– Fit the reusable model
When walking on crutches, there is a moment during which the healthy leg is completed lifted off the ground and the entire load is distributed between the crutches and the injured leg.
We can determine how much load is placed on the injured limb by subtracting the amount of weight on the crutches from the patient’s body weight. For example: if a patient’s weight is 80 kg and during a step he transferred 60 kg to crutches, then 20kg of pressure was exerted on the injured limb.
The accuracy of Smart Crutch Tips is 98,5%.
The amount of initial weight bearing can be set from 0% NWB to 50% PWB. The upper threshold for graduated WBAT is 80%.
The Smart Crutch Tips device can be used by patients recovering from nonsurgical and surgical treatments for hip, thigh, knee, shin, ankle, and foot injuries and pathologies
