Using a smartphone app for upper arm fracture recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app to guide your exercises can improve recovery after a broken upper arm bone. If you join, you will follow the app's instructions at home instead of having in-person physiotherapy sessions.
