Predicting the Healing of Lower Extremity Fractures Using Wearable Ground Reaction Force Sensors and Machine Learning.

Lower extremity fractures pose challenges due to prolonged healing times and limited assessment methods. Integrating wearable sensors with machine learning can help overcome these challenges by providing objective assessment and predicting fracture healing. In this retrospective study, data from a gait monitoring insole on 25 patients with closed lower extremity fractures were analyzed.
