First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether using a connected app with guided exercises, alongside standard physiotherapy, improves joint mobility six months after bunion surgery compared to physiotherapy alone. About 188 adults undergoing first-time, isolated bunion surgery will participate. The app is designed to encourage consistent home rehabilitation, which may lead to better recovery of foot function.

What this could lead to
If effective, the app could help people recover faster and more fully after bunion surgery, reducing the need for in-person physiotherapy.
