Clinical Trial 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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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	Yes
Secondary	Strength	Secondary outcomes was the results on the Sit to Stand-test,which measure strength of lower limbs.	24 weeks	Yes
