'Rehabilitation for Life'
Effect of Measuring Vital Signs and Coherent Rehabilitation in Primary and Secondary Sectors in Older Adults After Hip Fracture Surgery
Despite implementing hospital quality programs after hip fracture surgery older adults often experience a decline in the level of physical function, reduced quality of life; and the mortality and readmission rates are high.
Early mobilization is important in order to prevent loss of muscle mass; however to prevent morbidity an early start of strength training is also necessary. Furthermore, the risk of complications, morbidity, and mortality are associated with insufficient management of pain.
The project aims to examine the effect of measuring vital signs and consistent rehabilitation in the primary and secondary sectors in older adults after hip fracture surgery.
Method/ design:
The study is a cluster-randomized stepped wedge study. Participants will be recruited among patients admitted to an orthogeriatric ward who are 65 years of age or older and citizens in one of three municipalities. Participants are also the health professionals in the orthogeriatric ward and the three municipalities.
The three municipalities form five clusters, which are randomized, and every three-month one cluster cross from control to intervention.
The study compares usual practice (control) to an intervention named 'Rehabilitation of Life'. An intervention best described as an empowerment-oriented cross-sectorial program including vital sign measurement and systematic progressive rehabilitation and combined with convenient access for collaboration among professionals.
Primary outcome: Timed Up and Go (TUG) measured 2 months after the time of operation.
The investigators hypothesize that 'Rehabilitation of Life' for older adults with a hip fracture will result in a significant reduced TUG-score in comparison to a practice not offering 'Rehabilitation of Life'

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Timed up and go
Time Frame: Two months after the time of operation
|
Measures functional mobility, as the time in seconds it takes a person to rise from a chair with arms, walk 3 m and return to the chair.
A higher scores mean a worse outcome
|
Two months after the time of operation
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS)
Time Frame: One months after the time of operation
|
Measures basic mobility.
The score 0-6.
Higher scores mean a better outcome
|
One months after the time of operation
