Effectiveness of behavior change in rehabilitation interventions to improve functional recovery after lower limb fracture: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Ankle fractures are common injuries that can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. Rehabilitation following ankle fracture treatment is crucial for recovery, yet adherence to regimens remains a challenge. Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) have been suggested to improve adherence, but their effectiveness in ankle fracture rehabilitation is not well established. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of BCTs in the rehabilitation of ankle fracture patients. We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, including MEDLINE and EMBASE, focusing on Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) that incorporated BCTs into rehabilitation interventions. The effectiveness of BCTs on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), quality of life, and adverse events was analysed. Nine
