This presentation summarizes survey findings on how orthotists in the U.S. use wearable sensors and standardized outcome measures when treating patients with knee osteoarthritis. Results highlight current practices, barriers to adoption, and perceived value of sensor-based outcomes in enhancing orthotic care and reducing device abandonment.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe current trends in use of self-report and performance-based outcome measures, as well as wearable sensors among orthotists in the U.S.
Participants will also be able to identify outcomes that survey respondents indicated may be useful in measuring when providing orthotic care to patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Participants will also be able to describe barriers to orthotists using self-report, performance-based, and sensor-based outcomes collection.
