Official Title: Mobilizing Evidence Into Action to Improve Outcomes of Vulnerable Seniors

Brief Summary: This is a parallel Randomized Controlled Trial comparing two different delivery modes of post hip fracture management—a specialized Fracture Follow-up Clinic versus Usual Care alone. The Fracture Follow-up Clinic will focus on bone health and fall risk factors. The investigators will evaluate the effect of the clinic and exercise program on mobility and falls. The investigators primary hypothesis is that within the first year following a hip fracture, older adults who are assessed in the B4 Clinic and prescribed an exercise program will have significantly improved Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores compared with participants who receive usual care alone.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University of British Columbia

Current Primary Outcome: Short Physical Performance Battery [ Time Frame: 12 months post-fracture ]

The primary outcome for this trial is the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The SPPB is composed of three separate tests that are timed and categorized depending on performance. The three domains evaluated in the SPPB are standing balance, gait speed, and sit to stand performance.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Sedentary behaviour (accelerometry) minutes and percentage of daily sedentary behaviour [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Physical Activity (accelerometry) minutes of time spent in light and MVPA [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Global cognition (MoCA) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Executive Function (Stroop and Trail B) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Falls [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Quality of Life (ICECAP-O) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Health related quality of life (EQ5D-5L) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Health Resource Utilization [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Lower Extremity Measure [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Gait speed (m/s) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Grip strength (bilateral) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Leg strength (bilateral) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Timed up and Go (TUG) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  • Falls Self-efficacy International (FES-I) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
