Summary

This trial tests whether adding video feedback to standard physical therapy helps people walk better after cosmetic leg-lengthening surgery. Adults aged 18 to 45 who undergo bilateral femoral lengthening will be randomly assigned to receive either conventional physiotherapy alone or a mix of conventional physiotherapy and video feedback gait training. Researchers will measure walking speed, leg function, and other outcomes before surgery and at several points during recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: video feedback-supported gait training added to conventional physiotherapy
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a more effective rehabilitation approach for people recovering from leg-lengthening surgery, potentially improving walking speed and function.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The video feedback adds only 10 minutes per session, so the added benefit may be modest.
