Zap your way to walking again? study tests shock therapy for ankle recovery

NCT ID NCT06370325

Summary

This small pilot study is testing if a special type of electrical stimulation (NMES) can help people get stronger and recover function faster after ankle fracture surgery. Twenty participants will be split into two groups: one will receive the stimulation along with standard physical therapy, and the other will receive only standard therapy. The main goal is to see if the stimulation improves calf muscle strength and helps with everyday activities like walking and climbing stairs.
