| Scientific title | Geriatric- and physiatric-oriented rehabilitation after hip fracture to improve the ability to live independently: a randomised controlled trial |
| Study objectives | The aim here was to compare the impact of geriatric and physiatric rehabilitation on the functional outcome and ability for independent living (versus institutionalisation) in home-dwelling hip fracture patients, using routine rehabilitation (the standard procedure after surgical treatment for hip fracture in Finland) as a control. |
| Ethics approval(s) | The study was approved by the Ethics Commitee of University of Oulu. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Hip fracture |
| Intervention | Intervention group 1: Physiatric-oriented rehabilitation (mean number of days in the rehabilitation programme = 20.8 days) Intervention group 2: Geriatric-oriented rehabilitation (mean number of days in the rehabilitation programme = 31.4 days) Control group: Routine rehabilitation in health centre hospitals (mean number of days in the rehabilitation programme = 31.0 days) |
