This study investigates the efficacy of physiotherapist-supervised training once per week during 10 weeks compared to home-based training during 10 weeks, after proksimal humerus fracture.
Proximal humerus fracture is the third most common fracture in elderly people after hip and colles fracture, and are often caused by fall and osteoporosis. These fractures are highly related to morbidity and mortality among elderly people and consumes considerably health care resources. More than 70% of the proximal humerus fracture patients are over 60 years of age and 75% are female.
Only sparse evidence reveals to what extend the patients need rehabilitation and how it should be implemented in the treatment strategy.
In Denmark as well as in Finland the rehabilitation after proximal humerus fractures takes place in local centers in the municipalities, and the rehabilitation offered to the patients varies significantly. Currently in Denmark there are no national clinical guidelines to support the rehabilitation strategy.

| The Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) | Patient reported outcome measure of physical function in the upper extremity. Measures on a 0-100 scale, where a higher score indicates greater disability. The scores will be compared between the 2 groups | Measured at 3 months after fracture |

| Home-based training | Other | The intervention is home-based training during 10 weeks |
|
Subjective and objective measurement of the shoulder function. Measures on a 0-100 scale, where a lower score indicates greater disability. The scores will be compared between the 2 groups |
| Measured after 3 and 12 months. |
| 15-dimentional health-realted quality of life instrument (15D) | Patient reported outcome measure of health related quality of life. A set of utility or preference weights is used to generate the 15D score (single index number) on a 0-1 scale, where a higher score indicates a poor health related quality of life. The scores will be compared between the 2 groups | Measured at baseline, after 3 and 12 months |
| Pain catastrophizing Scale | Patient reported outcome measure. Measures on a 0-53 scale, where a higher score indicates a higher levels of pain catastrophizing thinking. The scores will be compared between the 2 groups. Also the correlation with DASH scores will be investigated | Measured at baseline, after 3 and 12 months |
| Generel Self-Efficacy scale | Patient reported outcome measure. Measures on a 10-40 scale, where a higher score indicates a higher degree of self-efficacy. The scores will be compared between the 2 groups. Also the correlation with DASH scores will be investigated | Measured at baseline, after 3 and 12 months |
| Accelerometer based activity in the upper extremity | The patient is wearing a censor above the elbow on both arms, that measures the level of upper extremity activity for three consecutive days. It measures the number of movements under and above shoulder hight and classify them into either high or low intensity movements. The asymmetry between the fractured and the healthy arm will be estimated and compared between the groups. | Measured at 3 and 12 months |
A cost-effectiveness analysis (QALY) of the two training modalities will be performed and a ratio will be estimated.
| After 12 months |
