Structured Tailored Rehabilitation After Hip Fragility Fracture: The ‘STRATIFY-HIP’ Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial
Study Design
This is a feasibility parallel arm pragmatic single centre randomised controlled pilot trial with an embedded qualitative study.
Everyone will receive usual care. Usual care includes physiotherapy and occupational therapy from the day after the operation to the point of leaving the hospital ward. The focus of usual care is on being able to leave the hospital ward safely.
Half of participants assigned to the intervention group will receive additional rehabilitation which will start within 3-days of their operation and continue until they leave the hospital ward. We will follow-up participants one week and twelve weeks after they are discharged.
