Summary

This study tested whether adding mental health techniques to standard physical therapy could help people recover better from serious leg injuries. Researchers worked with 633 military service members and civilians who were at risk for poor recovery. The program involved physical therapists delivering cognitive-behavioral therapy over the phone to help patients manage pain, fear of movement, and build confidence during rehabilitation.
