Summary
This study aimed to see if a connected watch could measure changes in walking distance before and after surgery for spastic foot. Researchers planned to enroll 30 adults who needed surgery, but only 2 joined before the study was stopped early. The main idea was to use the watch for 10 days before surgery and again 6 months after to compare daily walking.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could show that a simple smartwatch is a useful tool to track recovery after foot surgery.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early with only 2 participants, so results are not reliable. It is too small to draw any conclusions.
