Cognitive and Physical Recovery After Hip Fracture in Frail Patients Using Digital Rehabilitation Technology

Sponsor: C.O.T. Cure Ortopediche Traumatologiche S.p.A.

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether integrating a technology-based rehabilitation approach with conventional therapies in the rehabilitation of patients with proximal femoral fracture may be advantageous compared with conventional therapy alone. Specifically, the objective is to assess whether the addition of technology-assisted rehabilitation can improve cognitive function, in addition to motor function and overall abilities, compared with conventional rehabilitation alone. Furthermore, the study intends to explore the feasibility of implementing technology-assisted rehabilitation as a stable and routine component of everyday clinical practice, also considering the perspective of healthcare professionals.

Interventions

DEVICE

Experimental intervention - integrated treatment with a sensor-based device

The technology/robotic group will perform one-third (1/3) of the daily rehabilitation using technology-assisted devices and two-thirds (2/3) using conventional rehabilitation. In addition to the conventional rehabilitation described below, the treatment will include technology-assisted rehabilitation consisting of facilitated active joint mobilization exercises with visual and auditory feedback, aimed at stimulating motor and cognitive functions, as well as gait training.

OTHER

Conventional rehabilitation intervention

The conventional rehabilitation programme includes assisted and facilitated joint mobilization exercises to improve range of motion; exercises for postural readaptation of the trunk to the upright position; isometric exercises; and gait training using a 4-wheeled walker or forearm crutches (Canadian crutches), aimed at improving walking ability and achieving an appropriate recovery of the gait pattern.
