Tiny implantable sensors that can transmit real-time data about how bone injuries are healing could improve recovery, according to a US study in rats.After injury, resistance training with exercise is an effective form of rehabilitation to aid healing, however it can be difficult to identify the exact type and intensity of exercise that is best suited to each individual.A team led by the University of Oregon (UO), which developed the sensors, implanted the devices into rats with thigh bone injur
