About the Study
This study will help us understand if it is possible to use an interactive web tool to help people recover better after experiencing a major lower-limb trauma.
What happens in the study?
You will be introduced to the website very soon after you are admitted into hospital and you will have access to the website throughout your recovery.
If you join the study, you will receive the all the same care that you would receive if you were not part of the study.
You will be asked to complete some questionnaires to monitor how you are recovering at the beginning, at 6 weeks and finally at 3 months.
