Heel Bone Surgery and Balance Recovery Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the heel bone heals after surgery and how well people can balance afterward. Researchers want to understand if certain measurements of bone healing affect your ability to stand and move steadily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had heel bone (calcaneal) fracture surgery with plates and screws at least 1 year ago
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- The fracture was on one side only (not both feet)
- You can stand on your own without help
- You don't have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory joint diseases
- You don't have nerve damage in your foot, balance disorders, or neurological conditions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether cognitive training (exercises that challenge your thinking and memory) combined with physical exercises can reduce heel pain, improve balance, and strengthen foot function in people with plantar fasciitis. The goal is to see if training your brain alongside your body helps more than physical therapy alone.
This study tests if special balance training and foot exercises can improve the muscle activity in your back for people with flexible flatfoot. You may benefit if you have flat feet and want to strengthen your feet and improve posture.
This trial studies whether “permissive weight bearing” (walking with allowed weight) is safe and helpful after surgery for a displaced heel bone fracture. It’s meant to improve recovery while protecting the healing bone.
This study looks at how a heel spur (a small bone growth under the heel) affects your balance and your ankle's ability to sense position. It may help find better ways to treat heel pain and improve walking.
This trial tests whether fusing the joint just below the ankle (subtalar joint) during heel bone fracture repair helps people with severe fractures heal better. You may qualify if you have a specific type of broken heel bone and can return for follow-up visits for one year.
This study compares a small-incision surgery to non-surgical treatment (like casting) for certain heel bone fractures that involve the ankle joint. It aims to see which approach helps people heal better and get back to normal activity sooner.
