Official Title: Preventing Falls and Disability in Older Adults After Hip Fracture

Brief Summary: Patients who have suffered a first hip fracture have a higher risk of falling and sustaining another hip fracture compared with age-matched adults who did not fracture. Although exercise is key to reversing this pattern, there have been very few trials that aimed to improve muscle strength and balance as well as enhance bone health following hip fracture. Therefore, we propose to conduct an RCT that delivers either 12 months of standard care or standard care plus graduated exercise program for older women who have sustained a recent hip fracture.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University of British Columbia

Current Primary Outcome: Fall rate, measured by self-reported daily fall diaries, will be collected monthly at the exercise classes and followed up by an independent investigator [ Time Frame: Monthly ]

Original Primary Outcome: Fall rate, measured by self-reported daily fall diaries, will be collected monthly at the exercise classes and followed up by a blinded, independent investigator [ Time Frame: Monthly ]

Current Secondary Outcome:

Original Secondary Outcome: All measures collected three times over the one year except Physical Activities Scale for the Elderly questionnaire which will be collected on a monthly. i. Functional Outcome, Bone Health, Physical Activity, Muscle Strength and balance [ Time Frame: 3 times in 1 year ]
