简要总结
Most surviving hip-fracture patients experience reduced mobility and lose their functional ability, which increases the risk of complications and rehospitalization. Post-discharge transitional programs to reduce readmissions have shown some success. Telerehabilitation refers to the use of technologies to provide rehabilitation services to people in their homes. Considering the need for long-term follow-up care for people with hip fracture, in-home telerehabilitation could increase independence, decrease hospital stays and reduce the burden for caregivers.
The purpose of the pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the research methods evaluating telerehabilitation with adults who have experienced hip fracture, in preparation for a larger randomized controlled study. A one-group (N=6) pre-test/post-test design is currently being constructed. Results of the pilot study will be used to determine what adaptations to the design may be required to ensure successful implementation. Recruitment, retention and attendance rates, as well as percentages completing the outcome measures, will be examined to plan the time frame of the main trial.
The intervention will include 10 videoconferencing sessions from an occupational therapist in the presence of the primary caregiver. Each session will be utilized to guide the participants to achieve their self-identified goals, focusing on problem-solving for daily life situations and on the ability to implement the discussed strategies for a variety of activities.

研究组 & 干预措施
telerehabilitation
Telerehabilitation refers to the use of technologies to provide rehabilitation services to people in their homes. The intervention will be performed by real-time video-conferencing using an iPad® and Skype™, a software program that allows video calls over the Internet
干预措施: Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline at post intervention in The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
时间窗: Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months
The COPM will be used for measuring performance and satisfaction with personally identified participation goals. Participants are asked to identify goals and then rate their performance and satisfaction with current status on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 indicates optimal performance or satisfaction
次要结局
- Functional Independence Measure (FIM)(Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months)
- The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)(Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months)
- 12-item MOS Short-Form Health Status Survey, Hebrew version(Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months)
- The Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview(Baseline-pretest (T0), immediately following intervention (post intervention 10 weeks) (T1), and a 6-month follow-up (T2). in total, 9 months)
- Qualitative interview(post intervention, 10 weeks (T1))
