Can a co-designed program get hip fracture patients moving sooner?
NCT ID NCT07561164
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special mobility program, designed with input from patients and doctors, can help older adults move more after hip fracture surgery. About 25 participants will try the program during their hospital stay. Researchers will check if the program is practical, used correctly, and liked by patients and staff.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 60 years. * Admitted to one of the two acute orthopedic wards at Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre (CUHH) following hip fracture surgery. * Pre-fracture Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS) (by recall) ≥ 3 points, indicating independence or assisted independence in basic mobility activities such as bed transfer, chair transfer, and indoor walking. * Participants may be included if they are able to provide informed consent independently or if informed consent is obtained from a legally authorized proxy (e.g., caregiver or close relative) in cases of cognitive impairment. This applies to both Danish- and non-Danish speaking patients. Non-Danish speakers may be included with support from translated study materials and assistance from relatives or interpreters, where appropriate. * Inclusion the latest on postoperative day three. Exclusion Criteria: * Non-ambulatory before the fracture, e.g. permanently bedbound or wheelchair-dependent. * Terminal illness with limited expected survival. * Post-operative weight-bearing restrictions precluding mobility activities. * Multiple fractures or suspected pathological fractures (e.g. related to malignancy). * Clinically unstable or presenting conditions in which early mobilization is contraindicated. * Patients who previously participated in HIP-ME-UP Study 4, ensuring that recipients in Study 6 have not been prior HIP-ME-UP study participants or patient partners.
