Real-world mobility recovery after hip fracture: secondary analyses of digital mobility outcomes from four randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The main focus of rehabilitation following hip fracture is to regain mobility.

Objectives

To estimate the progression of real-world mobility the first year after hip fracture using digital mobility outcomes.

Design

An exploratory, prospective cohort study with pooled data from four previously conducted clinical trials.

Setting and subjects

We combined data from the Trondheim Hip Fracture Trial and Eva-Hip Trial in Trondheim, Norway, and the PROFinD 1 and PROFinD 2 trials in Stuttgart and Heidelberg, Germany, resulting in a sample of 717 hip fracture patients aged ≥65 years.

Methods

Each of the trials assessed mobility using body-fixed sensors (activPAL) at three time points, collectively providing observations across the entire first year post
