Filter by:Patients with pelvic fragility fractures suffer from high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite the high incidence of these injuries, there is currently no regional or nationwide treatment protocol which results in a wide variety of clinical practice. New insights in treatment strategies, such as early diagnosis and minimal invasive operative treatment of these fragile patient population, has led to the development of several clinical pathways in recent literature. The aim of this study is to implement an evidence and experience-based treatment clinical pathway to improve the outcomes in this fragile patient population that currently has multifactorial risks for poor outcome.
Type of study: prospective interventional the purposes of the research :To examine the effect of treatment using the SELFIT system on function, walking and balance in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. The study population: 50 participants aged 65+ who were admitted to the geriatric rehabilitation department after hip fractures, with 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of training with SELFIT system on the functional outcomes in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. - How the training with SELFIT system will effect on satisfaction of the patients in the geriatric rehabilitation department. During 21 days, both groups will receive physical therapy for about 45 minutes. The experimental group will be allocated about 15 minutes out of the 45 minutes to practice with the help of the SELFIT system.
This project is structured in two distinct phases. The first phase deals with the recovery of the hip fracture in the acute phase up to ambulation, and the second is understood as the continuation of functional improvement of gait. In the first phase, the aim is to evaluate the effects of the use of the robotic device (SWalker) on the physical improvement of the patient. While in the second phase, the objective is to evaluate the effects of virtual reality technology combined with the use of the SWalker.Therefore, the following specific objectives are identified: - Phase I: To analyze the effects of SWalker application in patients with acute hip fracture on clinical parameters of rehabilitation. - Phase II: To study the effects of the application of the SWalker combined with immersive technology in people with impaired gait function after hip fracture.
The goal of this pilot, patient blinded randomized trial is to develop a mechanistic understanding of gait following fixation of unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures and return to function and pain control. The guiding hypothesis that will be tested in a subsequent clinical trial is that the InterTAN when compared to standard lag-screw cephalomedullary nails will have decreased post operative pain, earlier return to symmetric weight bearing, and quicker return to pre-injury functioning levels.
Why the investigators are doing this study? The best approach to rehabilitation after a broken hip is not known. A new approach could improve outcomes by tailoring rehabilitation to patient needs. This approach identifies subgroups of patients within a population who have different risks of poor outcomes. These subgroups are then matched to treatments better tailored to their needs. Survivors of a broken hip describe a tailored approach as key to recovery. Further, the NHS recommends this approach as central to healthcare progress. This study wants to see if it is possible for the NHS to deliver this new approach to rehabilitation for older adults who break their hip. What will be done? The investigators worked with patients to plan this study. Patients will keep helping the investigators during the study. Sixty older people who had surgery to fix a broken hip will be invited to take part. Participants will be given a level of risk (low, medium, or high) based on an online calculator (www.stratifyhip.co.uk). All 60 participants will get usual care provided locally. Half, selected by chance, will get extra rehabilitation during their hospital stay including a self-managed exercise programme for the low-risk subgroup, education, a goal-orientated mobility programme and enhanced discharge planning for the medium-risk subgroup, and education, a goal-orientated activity of daily living programme, orientation, and enhanced assessment for the high-risk subgroup. The investigators will collect information from the 60 people taking part, at the beginning, middle, and end of the study and again 12- weeks later. What will the next step be? If this small study shows this extra rehabilitation can be provided in the NHS, and it may help patients, then the investigators plan to do a larger study. The larger study will see if this extra rehabilitation works to help older people get back home and feel happier.
The aim of this study is to apply pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block or fascia iliaca plan block using ultrasonography to patients who will undergo hip fracture surgery, while giving sitting position before spinal anaesthesia and to reduce postoperative pain complaints. Thanks to these blocks, it is aimed to reduce pain complaints and the need for morphine-derived painkillers before and after surgery.
Severe pain associated with fractured hip often results in difficulty during positioning for spinal anesthesia (SA). Among many regional analgesic techniques, the fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is popular among anesthesiologists to provide immediate as well as postoperative analgesia in hip fractures. Recently, the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been proposed to provide effective analgesia in hip fracture patients. However, comparative studies between PENG and FICB are lacking.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a new 14-week individually-tailored home-based rehabilitation program called "Stronger at Home" with usual care in improving functional recovery in community-dwelling older adults after hip fractures. The main question this trial aims to answer are: • Is the Stronger at Home program more effective than usual care in improving functional recovery at the end of the 14-week intervention? secondary questions include: - What is the cost-utility of the Stronger at Home program compared to usual care at 3.5 months, 6 months, and 12 months after discharge? - Does the program have a sustained impact on functional recovery at 6 months and 12 months post-discharge? Participants in the trial will be asked to engage in the following tasks: - Participate in the Stronger at Home program, which includes using a self-directed toolkit consisting of educational resources and an illustrated exercise program. - Follow the guidelines provided in the toolkit for gradually increasing exercise intensity and incorporating different types of exercises into their daily life. The effects of the Stronger at Home program will be compared to those of usual care.
The overall objective of this pilot study is to test a comprehensive nutritional intervention in elderly patients diagnosed with hip fracture, which the study team believe will reduce functional decline, morbidity and mortality.
In this prospective study, emergency physicians perform ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block for patients with hip fractures. We compare the effectiveness of analgesia and patient satisfaction of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block with liberal use of the pain medicine in the emergency department. The primary outcome is the assessment of time to relief the pain with fewer adverse effects and less rescue pain medication use. The secondary outcome is patient satisfaction and adverse effects for different method of pain control.
