Summary

Most surviving hip-fracture patients experience reduced mobility and lose their functional ability, which increases the risk of complications and rehospitalization. Post-discharge transitional programs to reduce readmissions have shown some success. Telerehabilitation refers to the use of technologies to provide rehabilitation services to people in their homes. Considering the need for long-term follow-up care for people with hip fracture, in-home telerehabilitation could increase independence, decrease hospital stays and reduce the burden for caregivers. The purpose of this three armed randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention program based on telerehabilitation on ADL, QOL, depression and burden on caregivers compared to face-to-face home visits and usual care of community-dwelling older adults after hip fracture. 90 older people with hip fractures will be randomly assigned to a telerehabilitation group (N=30), face-to-face visits (N=30) and a control group. The aim of the intervention is to improve the transition from rehabilitation units to community dwelling. It will include 10 videoconferencing/ face-to-face sessions from an occupational therapist in the presence of the primary caregiver. Each session will be utilized to guide the participants to achieve their self-identified goals, focusing on problem-solving for daily life situations and on the ability to implement the discussed strategies for a variety of activities
