Training to prevent falls after foot or ankle surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether teaching people to use mobility devices before surgery can lower the chance of falling afterward. It’s for adults having planned (elective) one-sided foot or ankle surgery and who will need limited walking after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be scheduled for planned one-sided foot or ankle surgery
- Your surgeon expects you will need limited walking after surgery (no weight or partial weight)
- You must NOT be wheelchair-bound
- You should not have used a post-surgery mobility device before (and you must not have a condition that already affects thinking, balance, or walking)
