A proper post-operative care should be provided to orthopaedic patients in order to recover quickly from surgery or leg fracture. If no proper care is given, the recovery period will be extended. The primary goal of the proposed strategy is to reduce leg strain while maintaining a normal gait. As a part of the proposed effort, a footwear equipped with a sensor unit will be developed to monitor and direct the patient by modifying the weight distribution pattern for the legs. If the patient tries to apply extra pressure to one of the legs, the sensor equipped footwear will send an alert. An arm band with a microcontroller, battery, and a Bluetooth module allowing autonomous and wireless operation is meant to provide notifications to patients. The proposed research findings are entirely focused on both legs equally as 50% to each, with an average variation of 1.08333%.
