Effects of 12-month home-based physiotherapy on duration of living at home and functional capacity among older persons with signs of frailty or with a recent hip fracture - protocol of a randomized controlled trial (HIPFRA study)

Abstract: BackgroundHealth concerns, such as frailty and osteoporotic fractures decrease functional capacity and increase use of health and social care services in the aging population. The ability to continue living at home is dependent on functional capacity, which can be enhanced by rehabilitation.We study the effects of a 12-month home-based physiotherapy program with 12-month follow-up on duration of living at home, functional capacity, and the use of social and health care services among older persons with signs o… Show more

“…Furthermore, European and North American studies have also shown that care provision by more nurses with at least bachelor's degrees are associated with lower mortality after surgery [37,38]. Physical therapy also important to enhance functional capacity and postpone the need for institutional care, and diminish the use of social and health care services for the older with signs of frailty or with a recent hip fracture [39].…”

“…Our frailty group is part of the HIPFRA study [16], which is a randomized controlled trial carried out to investigate the effects of 12-month supervised physical exercise intervention on the days lived at home in a 24-month period (the primary outcome). Secondary outcomes are physical functioning, health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), severity of frailty, and use of social and health-care services.…”
