Leg fracture recovery boosted by exercise program?
NCT ID NCT07629180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a structured, supervised exercise program can help adults recover from serious leg fractures. About 40 people who had surgery for a broken thigh or shin bone will either do the exercise program or get usual care. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, and to gather information for a larger future study.
