About this trial
The goals of this clinical trial are: to test the feasibility of identifying patients and getting patients the floor pedal bikes, to test how well floor pedal bikes help patients with lower body injuries heal, and to test methods of patient self-reported logs for home pedal bike use.
Participants will be given a floor pedal bike at first post-operative appointment where weightbearing restrictions are lifted (weight-bearing as tolerated) along with instructions on utilization. Participants will be asked to complete patient reported outcome measure surveys at each follow-up visit.
