NCT ID NCT06370325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can help people regain strength and function after ankle fracture surgery. About 20 participants will either receive NMES plus standard physical therapy or physical therapy alone. The goal is to see if the electrical stimulation improves muscle strength and daily activities.
