Eva-Hip, Evaluation of Rehabilitation After Hip-fracture

NCT01379456 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: REK 2010/3265-3
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 223

Brief Summary

To evaluate the effect on gait and activity of a home based physiotherapy intervention 4-6 months after the fracture. The investigators hypothesis is that exercises performed after the initial rehabilitation, which focuses on specific components of gait control will improve gait and increase level of activity.

Conditions

Hip Fracture

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• change in gait speed
