ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new exercise program aimed at helping patients recover from hip fractures. Specifically, it looks at whether high-density chair rise training can improve leg strength without causing too much pain in the hip during the exercises. The goal is to see if this program can be done safely and effectively for patients who are undergoing rehabilitation after their hip fracture.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be at least 60 years old, have a hip fracture, and be able to walk with some assistance. The training will take place at a rehabilitation center in Hørsholm, Denmark. Participants can expect to engage in chair rise exercises regularly, with some monitoring of any pain or discomfort during the sessions. It's important for the program to be manageable, so there are guidelines to ensure that pain from the exercises doesn’t last long after each session and that most participants can stick with the program. Overall, this study aims to improve recovery and strength in older adults who have suffered a hip fracture.
