Walking and strength exercises for healing leg fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program to help people regain leg movement and strength after a broken femur (thigh bone) or tibia (shin bone) is fixed with surgery. It may help you recover faster and get back to normal activities.
