Unilateral Hip Fracture Clinical Trial
Official title:
Self-Efficacy and High-Intensity Strength Training to Improve Postoperative Rehabilitation of Hip Fracture Patients
This project will assess the effectiveness of a novel approach involving patient education and strength training to improve functional recovery after a hip fracture. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups. One group (control group) will receive standard medical care. The other group will participate in a program of patient education and strength training, including an at-home walking program.
