Discover how Opum is advancing orthopedic care with data-driven insights, cutting-edge technology, and proven results.
The Biomechanical Imperative:
From Subjective Assessment to Continuous Athletic Insights
A clinical evidence review of gaps in ACL rehabilitation.
The purpose of this white paper is to evaluate the current methods and tools used to assess athletic readiness and management of injury risk in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) athletes.
This white paper argues that traditional ACLR rehabilitation methods are due for an improvement as technology advances from subjective observations to objective measurements. The ability to capture raw biomechanical data, transform it into loading pattern insights, and capture longitudinal movement patterns enables a shift in rehabilitation from reactive return-to-sport to proactive athletic longevity.

The impact of sensor technology in knee osteoarthritis
This 12-week randomized trial at the top-ranked Shirley Ryan Ability Lab evaluated Opum’s Digital Knee®. The study compared the outcomes of a traditional knee brace versus the brace enhanced with the Digital Knee® sensor and RPM platform.
Key findings:
20% higher retention: Digital Knee® users stayed engaged longer.
Improved outcomes: Significant pain, mobility, and quality of life improvements across all KOOS scores.
Enhanced performance: Greater gains in walking speed, endurance, strength, and weight management compared to the control group.
