Telerehabilitation in Patients With Ankle Fracture
Sponsor: Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social
Summary
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program in the recovery of functionality and quality of life in patients recovering from ankle fracture. The main questions to be answered are: What is the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program in the recovery of functionality in patients with ankle fracture? What is the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program in the recovery of quality of life in patients with ankle fracture? The researchers will compare the telerehabilitation program against the usual hospital rehabilitation procedure to see if there are differences in functional recovery and quality of life. Participants will take a telerehabilitation program at home with the help of smartphones or will be sent to the usual hospital procedure for in-person rehabilitation. They will have monthly in-person follow-up until 3 months, and by telephone at 6 months for the evaluation of their functionality and quality of life.
