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

| CO - OP | Behavioral | CO-OP is a top-down, task-oriented, client-centered approach that uses an iterative process of dynamic performance analysis and guided discovery to enable individuals to identify strategies that will improve performance |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline at post intervention in The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) | The COPM will be used for measuring performance and satisfaction with personally identified participation goals. Participants are asked to identify goals and then rate their performance and satisfaction with current status on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 indicates optimal performance or satisfaction | Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Independence Measure (FIM) | The aim of the FIM is to monitor the recovery of functional ability by people undergoing rehabilitation. The FIM is comprised of 18 parameters, each rated on a scale of 1-7 (range = 18-126) according to the degree of assistance required to perform a specific activity | Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months |

| The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) | The scale consists of 15 items; each item has two possible answers (yes or no). The highest possible score is 15, which indicates the most severe depressive state. | Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months |
| 12-item MOS Short-Form Health Status Survey, Hebrew version | This generic HR-QoL instrument focuses on functional status. The questionnaire includes 12 items taken directly from the SF-36[73] which are used to calculate the Physical and Mental Component Summary. The first question measured by the SF-12 is an acceptable self-rated measure for general health | Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months |
| The Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview | The ZBI includes 22 statements recorded in a 0-4 Likert scale (total score range 0 to 88, where higher scores mean higher burden), which rates the subjective component of burden | Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months |
| Qualitative interview | Semi-structured interviews will be conducted post intervention with the patients and their caregivers to identify barriers and facilitators regarding the intervention | post intervention, 10 weeks (T1) |
