Rehabilitation After Lower Extremity Nailing Trial (ReLENT)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if outpatient physical therapy (PT) results in differing functional outcomes compared to a self-guided home exercise program (HEP) in tibial or femoral nail patients. The hypothesis is that outpatient PT does not result in superior functional outcomes when compared to a self-guided home exercise program. Outpatient physical therapy for mobility and gait training is the current standard of care following lower extremity fractures.
To test this question, patients will be randomized into either PT or HEP group with PT serving as the control. Researchers will compare the PT and HEP groups to see if patient outcomes differ.
People who agree to join the study will be asked to attend 5 visits over one year. During these visits, they will receive surveys and physical assessments. They will also be asked to answer survey questions about their pain, recovery, and therapy through an email survey. The emailed surveys will be weekly for the first 3 months, then every 2 weeks until 6 months, then every 4 weeks until one year. There are 24 emailed surveys total.

Armas e Intervenções
Grupo de Participantes / Braço |
Intervenção / Tratamento |
|---|---|
|
Comparador Ativo: Formal Physical Therapy (PT)
Patients will be provided with a standardized prescription for outpatient PT.
The details of the prescription have been developed with the University of Chicago Medicine Physical Therapy Department.
Treatment will be prescribed for 2 sessions per week for a period of 6 weeks.

|
Comparador Ativo: Home Exercise Program (HEP)
Home exercise program (HEP) instructions will be provided to the HEP cohort and will include standardized exercises divided into three phases.
Progress through phases is based on functional criteria and is self-determined.

Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Any difference in VAS Pain Scale
Prazo: Participants will complete the following surveys in-person at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months, and 1 year
|
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain is a 100 mm line labeled "no pain" at 0 mm and "worst imaginable pain" at 100 mm
|
Participants will complete the following surveys in-person at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months, and 1 year
|
|
Any difference in OSPRO-YF (Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome-Yellow Flag)
Prazo: Measured at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months, and 1 year
|
The OSPRO-YF is designed to help healthcare practitioners identify pain-related psychological characteristics in outpatient orthopedic settings.
As OSPRO-YF summarizes 11 psychological questionnaires, it is not scored like a conventional screening tool.
Quartile scores are used instead of cutoff scores for consistency and assessment of a wide range of outpatient orthopedic patients.

|
|
Any difference in PROMIS Physical Function 8b short form
Prazo: Measured at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months, and 1 year
|
The PROMIS Physical Function form is a self-reported questionnaire assessing an individual's capability to perform daily physical activities.
|
