Summary

This study investigates the additional benefits of Mobilization Exercises and Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises (CKCE) in elderly individuals with post-operative neck of femur fracture. The researcher employs a randomized controlled trial which will involve 49 participants aged above 65 years with post-operative neck of femur fracture.

Detailed description

Participants are divided into two groups: one receiving Mobilization Exercises, and the other receiving Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises. Outcomes are assessed over a 6 week period, focusing on pain intensity, Range of motion, risk of fall by goniometer, visual analogue scale (VAS) and dynamic gait index (DGI) scores. Data will be analyzed using SPSS-23. The study will conclude whether CKCE or Mobilization exercises offer a significant benefit in pain reduction, prevent risk of falls and range of motion.

Conditions
