First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a 14-week, individually tailored home-based rehabilitation program called 'Stronger at Home' can improve functional recovery in older adults who have had a hip fracture. Participants will receive visits from a physical therapist, a self-directed toolkit with exercises and educational resources, and support for pain management and goal setting. The study compares their progress to those receiving usual care, measuring functional abilities and other outcomes over a year.
