An interventional study of HIP Mobile e-Monitoring support and Workbook support in Hip Fractures, sponsored by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre. Completed at 3 sites in Canada. Open to participants aged 60 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-09-01.

Approximately 30,000 adults in Quebec over the age of 50 suffer a fragility fracture each year. Fractures can affect a person's health, well-being and autonomy. Personal costs of these fractures are high, with as many as 50% of hip fracture patients being unable to return their pre-fracture level of autonomy.
Homecare and community services provide customary rehabilitation support immediately following discharge from acute-care, though this contribution can be limited by lack of resources. For those patients at risk of negative outcomes, we have demonstrated clinically important benefits of extended exercise rehabilitation programs offered beyond the regular rehabilitation period on improving physical function.
Through advances in sensor and telecommunication technology, eHealth solutions incorporated within homecare services as an integral part of the continuum of care can lead to better patient and health professional experience, improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs to the healthcare system.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the implementation of a 3-month community-based extended-rehabilitation e-Monitoring and Coaching support program is more effective at improving mobility in community-dwelling elderly patients who have sustained a fracture than a printed material support program, and if these effects persist 6 months after discontinuation.
848 studies on the registry are indexed under Hip Fractures; 160 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 63 is below the median of 90 across 540 interventional studies indexed under Hip Fractures.

Change in mobility
Measured as an ordinal mobility response variable quantified by the number of minimal clinically important changes (MIC) a participant attains using the gait speed and 30 second Sit to Stand tests. A person making no MIC in either measure is given a response category of 0, the lowest. A person changing by 1 MIC on only of the measures (either one) will be given a value of 1; a MIC gain on both measures would be assigned a value of 2, and so forth.

Ran from Mar 2017 to primary completion in Jan 2021, 45 months.
Of 225 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hip Fractures, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 55. This study's 45 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 239 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 57.
