Summary

This study looks at how a structured physiotherapy program starting soon after cosmetic femoral lengthening surgery affects daily movement and physical function. Fifty-four healthy adults aged 18 to 45 will take part, doing exercises like stretching, strengthening, and walking training five days a week for 13 weeks. The goal is to see if early rehab improves strength, balance, and independence, which could help shape better recovery plans for future patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Conventional physiotherapy program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve rehabilitation plans for people undergoing cosmetic leg-lengthening surgery, helping them recover faster and move better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 54 participants, all healthy adults, so results may not apply to everyone. The study is not yet recruiting, and outcomes are focused on function, not long-term safety.
