Early home exercises after ankle surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to help people recover after ankle fracture surgery. Instead of only using paper leaflets or checkups, you would use a simple online video platform to follow an early exercise plan from home, which may help you move better and recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You had surgery to fix a broken ankle within the last 21 days.
- Your doctor has given you any instruction about putting weight on your ankle (even 'no weight at all' is okay).
- Your fracture is not a severe open fracture (where the bone came through the skin badly).
- Your ankle is not required to stay in a cast until after 21 days from surgery.
- You can understand and speak English for interviews and a questionnaire, and can attend video calls (with some help from family or friends if needed).

This trial tests a program of exercises and activity monitoring while your ankle is in a brace after a fracture. It aims to help you recover strength and movement faster.
This study tests whether wearing a brace after an ankle fracture helps healing better than standard care. It is for adults who have been treated for an ankle fracture and can already put weight on their foot.
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 trial compares two rehab plans after ankle fracture surgery: putting weight on the ankle right away versus waiting. It aims to see which approach is safer and better for healing and recovery.
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.
This trial compares two rehabilitation plans after ankle surgery: starting weight bearing sooner versus later. It may help people with diabetes heal safely and reduce complications related to healing and foot sensation.
