There is limited understanding of how well patients adhere to postoperative instructions following ankle surgery, particularly in outpatient settings regarding partial weight bearing (15-30 kg) and orthosis use. This study aims to assess orthosis compliance and load frequency over six weeks post-surgery using pressure-sensitive insoles, while also evaluating the effectiveness of continuous biofeedback. A total of 84 patients with isolated ankle fractures were enrolled. All participants were instructed to maintain partial weight bearing of 15-30 kg for six weeks with a lower leg orthosis equipped with insoles that continuously recorded daily step counts and maximum loads. In a prospective randomized design, the control group received no biofeedback, while the intervention group received audiovisual feedback whenever loads exceeded 20 kg. Adherence to the prescribed partial weight bearing and orthosis use was low in both groups, with only 10% of the control group wearing the orthosis by week three and overload occurring as early as week one. However, the implementation of biofeedback resulted in significant improvements in orthosis utilization (57.4% vs. 29.1%) and adherence to prescribed loading. The implementation of continuous biofeedback significantly enhanced adherence to prescribed loading and orthosis usage, highlighting its critical role in postoperative rehabilitation for ankle fractures.
