Effectiveness in Functional Recovery and Quality of Life After a Telerehabilitation Program for Patients With Ankle Fracture, Controlled Clinical Trial

Patients will be selected from the pelvic limb consultation, they will be invited to go to the tele-rehabilitation module where they will be taught the rehabilitation program that they must carry out, as well as written information about the program. Once the teaching is finished, they will be asked if they have any questions to clarify them. Once the teaching is finished, they will be followed up through the Moodle platform to see their clinical evolution and identify the date of their discharge from work. Later, this group will be compared with the patients who carried out their rehabilitation treatment in the usual way.

Randomization Randomization will be carried out through a software-based randomization program. The assignment will be done by balanced random blocks, block size 8, with an assignment ratio of 1:1. The recruitment of participants, the assignment of participants to the interventions and the evaluations will be carried out by medical evaluators.

Blinding of subjects, therapists and evaluators: Due to the nature of the intervention, it is not possible to blind participants and therapists. However, the initial and final evaluators will not be aware of the treatment group to which the study subject belongs, and the statistical analysis will be performed in a blinded manner, only the treatment will be mentioned as Group A or Group B

Data quality: Several strategies will be implemented to ensure data quality. All procedures will be adjusted with the standard operating procedures of the North Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit. Evaluators and treating physiotherapists will receive appropriate training before working. Compliance with the intervention follow-up will be closely monitored by a research associate in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit and on the platform. Forms and data processing will be periodically reviewed for accuracy. All data entry will be double-checked for accuracy.

Intervention Experimental group: Tele-Rehabilitation Group (Online Exercise and Counseling) Conceptual definition: Rehabilitation service that is provided remotely through information and communication technologies. In this case it will be carried out online through the Moodle platform.
