Continuous Monitoring of Patient Mobility for 18 Months Using Inertial Sensors following Traumatic Knee Injury: A Case Study.

ABSTRACT: Continuous patient activity monitoring during rehabilitation, enabled by digital technologies, will allow the objective capture of real-world mobility and aligning treatment to each individual's recovery trajectory in real time. To explore the feasibility and added value of such approaches, we present a case study of a 36-year-old male participant monitored continuously for activity levels and gait parameters using a waist-worn inertial sensor following a tibial plateau fracture on the right side, sustained as a result of a high-energy trauma during a sporting accident. During rehabilitation, data were collected for a period of 553 days, with > 80% daytime compliance, until the participant returned to near full mobility. The participant completed a daily diary with the annotation of major
