NCT01129219

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, controlled; single-blind parallel group trial carried out with hip fracture patients, starting at 12 weeks post fracture. Patients were approached during their acute stay in hospital, followed without any extra intervention for 12 weeks, and then randomized in a 2:1 manner to either intervention or control for the next 12 weeks. After the first 12 weeks intervention the intervention group were divided into two groups and randomized to an new single-blind parallel group trial for further intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Bergs Balance scale

    Bergs Balance Scale: The Berg balance scale (BBS) measures "functional balance," which has three dimensions: maintenance of a position, postural adjustment to voluntary movements, and reaction to external disturbance, scored 0-56 (Berg K. 1995).

    24 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Strength

    24 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Usual care

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects in the control group were asked to maintain their current lifestyle. No restrictions were placed on their exercise activities.

Other: Strength training

Interventions

Strength training for 24 weeks
