A planned 2x2 factorial trial will evaluate the Exercise Plus Program versus its individual components in 240 older women post hip fracture, with no results reported in this rationale paper.
Why the study?
Does the Exercise Plus Program improve self-efficacy, exercise behavior, and physical/psychological outcomes in older women post hip fracture compared to its individual components?
RCT (n=240)
Yes
Does the Exercise Plus Program improve self-efficacy, exercise behavior, and physical/psychological outcomes in older women post hip fracture compared to its individual components?
This study protocol outlines a 2x2 factorial trial to evaluate whether a combined exercise and social learning intervention improves adherence and outcomes in older women post hip fracture.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No practice change indicated yet for post-hip fracture care; trial will test whether combined intervention exceeds components alone.
Barbara Resnick (2002) conducted an RCT in hip fracture (n=240). Exercise Plus Program vs. Exercise Training alone or Plus components alone was evaluated on self-efficacy and outcome expectations, exercise behavior, activity, and specific physical and psychological outcomes. A planned 2x2 factorial trial will evaluate the Exercise Plus Program versus its individual components in 240 older women post hip fracture, with no results reported in this rationale paper.
