What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a new 14-week home-based rehabilitation program called 'Stronger at Home' with usual care for improving functional recovery in older adults who have experienced hip fractures. Participants will engage in a self-directed program that includes educational resources and an illustrated exercise regimen tailored to their needs. The study will evaluate the program's effectiveness at the end of the intervention and assess its cost-utility and long-term impact on recovery at 6 and 12 months post-discharge.
