This trial studies rehabilitation after a tibia (shinbone) shaft fracture that is fixed with a metal nail. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and to take part in a rehab plan that aims to improve recovery after injury.
This study tests a new exercise program called the Ankle Muscle Power (AMP) program to help people get back to full duty after an ankle fracture surgery. It aims to see if this program is effective and practical for recovery.
This study compares two different rehabilitation programs after surgery for a broken thigh or shin bone fixed with a metal rod. It aims to help you recover faster and improve your ability to walk and move.
This study tests whether a short session of pedaling a special bike while lying in bed, soon after spine surgery, can help you recover faster. It's for people who could walk before surgery and are stable after the operation.
This study tests whether a structured strength-training program is safe and helpful for adults recovering from thighbone or shinbone fractures treated with surgical rods. The goal is to help you regain muscle strength and function as you heal.
This trial tests whether a simpler “at-home” rehabilitation plan after ankle or lower-leg bone (tibial plafond) fractures works as well as standard care. It may help you recover strength and walking function with less clinic time.
