First seen Mar 03, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests if using a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the calf muscle (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) can help people regain strength and function after ankle fracture surgery. Twenty adults will be randomly assigned to either receive the stimulation plus standard physical therapy or standard therapy alone. The goal is to see if the stimulation leads to stronger muscles and better walking ability.
