NCT ID NCT06811090
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a telerehabilitation program done at home with a smartphone works as well as in-person hospital rehab for people recovering from an ankle fracture. Two hundred adults participated, using either a home program or standard care. Researchers measured how well they could walk and do daily activities, plus their quality of life, over 6 months.
