IoT-Based Patient Movement Monitoring: The Post-Operative Hip Fracture Rehabilitation Model
Hip fracture incidence is life-threatening and has an impact on the person’s physical functionality and their ability to live independently. Proper rehabilitation with a set program can play a significant role in recovering the person’s physical mobility, boosting their quality of life, reducing adv...
