Wearable Activity Trackers
Monitoring Recovery in Individuals Undergoing Total Hip Replacement Surgery
The innovation of wearable devices is advancing
rapidly. Activity monitors can be used to improve the total hip
replacement (THR) patients’ recovery process and reduce costs.
Wearable device technology might be feasible to predict, monitor, and
detect physical activity following THR. They could be used as a
motivational tool to increase patients’ mobility and enhance the
recovery process. Also, wearable activity monitors could provide a
better insight into the individual’s activity level in contrast to
subjective selfreported questionnaires.
