Clinical Trial: Enhancing Rehabilitation After Hip Fracture

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Enhanced Rehabilitation Targeting Strength and Movement Pattern Symmetry Following Hip Fracture

Brief Summary: This study evaluates the feasibility of implementing a unilaterally biased high-intensity resistance training to facilitate restorative vs. compensatory recovery after "usual care" physical therapy among older adults who have recently incurred a hip fracture. Additionally, physical performance during a sit-to-stand task, muscle function (strength/power), physical function measures, muscle composition, and muscle quality (force/unit area), are assessed before and after targeted high-intensity resistance training.
