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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A 14-week home-based physical therapy program called Stronger at Home, including tailored exercises, pain self-management support, and a self-directed toolkit.
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical, home-based way to help older adults regain independence after a hip fracture, potentially reducing the need for long-term care.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and the program's success depends on participant adherence and motivation. Results may not apply to all hip fracture patients, and the intervention may not prove more effective than usual care.

Jul 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
