Abstract

This paper explores the prevalent challenges associated with musculoskeletal injuries across various demographics. It proposes the idea for a comprehensive mobile application designed to improve post-fracture aftercare by addressing existing gaps in information sharing, personalization, and remote care. Comprising three core components – recording and assessment of physiotherapy exercises, physical load measurement at the fracture, and a shared documentation tool for all participants involved in the aftercare process – the system aims to enhance patient compliance and improve recovery outcomes. The system will then be evaluated technically with healthy subjects to validate the system components. Subsequent usability evaluations will involve feedback from both healthy subjects and potential end-users, paving the way for planned clinical investigations with patients undergoing ankle fracture treatments to assess system efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and compliance.
