The Mobility Toolkit: Electronically Augmented Assessment of Functional Recovery Following Lower-Extremity Trauma

Abstract

The Mobility Toolkit (MTK) is a single chest mounted device that utilizes inertial measurement units (IMUs) to assess gait quality. The purpose of this project is to test the implementation of the Mobility Toolkit in multiple trauma centers around the country and generate normative data on lower-extremity injuries common among military and civilian patients. The long-term goal is for this to be a clinical tool for evaluating recovery progress. This study is an important first step in establishing feasibility and in creating a normative set against which patient progress can be measured.
