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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: connected rehabilitation application
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.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small study, and the app may not provide significant benefit over standard care. Results depend on patient adherence and may not apply to all foot surgeries.
