Descrizione dettagliata
Although a small number of interventions have been found to be effective in improving mobility and functional recovery after a hip fracture, these studies have routinely excluded patients with cognitive limitations, a group with poor outcomes after hip fracture. It is estimated that 15-20% of all hip fracture patients experience cognitive limitation following surgery from previously undetected cognitive impairment, delirium, and other post-operative complications that persist following hospital discharge and those with cognitive limitations are slow to recover. Despite potential for a full recovery, many hip fracture patients with cognitive limitation may be discharged early from rehabilitation settings due to misperceptions about rehabilitation potential, or other psychological issues that limit their participation.
The innovation of this study is that it focuses on a critically vulnerable and costly group of patients (hip fracture patients with cognitive limitations) with an extended intervention that is tailored to the patient's needs and cognitive abilities. The post-rehabilitation period after hip fracture has been largely ignored and little is known about the effective strategies to help transition and maintain hip fracture patients (especially those with cognitive limitations) in the home setting. HipERS utilizes an effective approach to address for functional gains, but where limited attention has been given. It focuses on motivational and behavioral challenges in patients with cognitive limitations and their caregivers, which has been largely ignored in the hip fracture research
This study will gather information from 5 people with cognitive limitations who fractured a hip. Caregivers (family relative or non-relative, unpaid or paid, formal or informal) will also be invited to participate. Hip fracture participants will receive a home-based exercise intervention that will start after their "normal" rehabilitation is done. The function-based exercise intervention will be provided by physical therapists 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks. Additionally, the physical therapist will encourage the caregiver to motivate and actively engage the hip fracture participant in the therapist-prescribed home exercise program so that this can be maintained at the end of the 6-week intervention. The feasibility of the intervention will be based on the percentage of sessions participants complete. The information we get from this feasibility study will be used to plan a larger study.

Armi e interventi
Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm |
Intervento / Trattamento |
|---|---|
|
Sperimentale: HipERS
A trained physical therapist will visit each participant for a 1-hour session 3 times a week for the initial 2 weeks, and then 2 times a week for 4 weeks (total 14 hours over 6 weeks).
|
This is a graduated, functionally-based exercise intervention conducted in the participant's home.
The intervention incorporates verbal encouragement and positive reinforcement, role modeling, assessment of and elimination of unpleasant sensations associated with an activity, and confidence building through activity repetition.
The exercise component includes 1) strengthening exercises, 2) range of motion exercises, 3) balance training, 4) functional training, such as chair rising, ambulation training, and stair climbing, 5) transfer practice, 6) adjusting walking aides, and 7) adapting and modifying environment; with a focus on lower extremity tasks in all these areas.

Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
Lasso di tempo: 6 weeks
|
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) will be used to assess timed physical performance of balance, gait, strength, and endurance.
Walking speed over 3 meters and a single timed chair rise without using arms will also be assessed.
|
6 weeks
|
|
Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living
Lasso di tempo: 6 weeks
|
The Barthel Index will be rated by research staff after observing activity of daily living (ADL) performance.
The Barthel Index is a measure of physical function that assesses a participant's ability for self-care.
The Barthel Index consists of 14 items, each of which relates to a different functional activity.
A total score of 100 indicates complete independence in self-care.

6 weeks

Lower Extremity Gain Scale (LEGS)
Lasso di tempo: 6 weeks
|
The Lower Extremity Gain Scale (LEGS) is a portable measure of gait and global balance, specially developed for older adults who have sustained a hip fracture.
This performance measure determines how steady or unsteady the older adult is during a series of balance and gait tasks.
The tasks are summarized to yield an 11-item balance score, an 8-item gait score, and a combined overall mobility score

6 weeks
|
|
Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)
Lasso di tempo: 6 weeks
|
Behavioral and affective outcomes will be used to examine the impact of the intervention on behavioral symptoms of cognitive limitation using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI).
The NPI includes items on 10 behavioral disturbances: delusions, hallucinations, dysphoria, anxiety, agitation/aggression, euphoria, disinhibition, irritability/lability, apathy, and aberrant motor activity.
These are all rated by the caregiver.

Factors capture personal strain and role strain.
