简要总结
This study investigates the efficacy of physiotherapist-supervised training once per week during 10 weeks compared to home-based training during 10 weeks, after proksimal humerus fracture.
详细描述
Proximal humerus fracture is the third most common fracture in elderly people after hip and colles fracture, and are often caused by fall and osteoporosis. These fractures are highly related to morbidity and mortality among elderly people and consumes considerably health care resources. More than 70% of the proximal humerus fracture patients are over 60 years of age and 75% are female.
Only sparse evidence reveals to what extend the patients need rehabilitation and how it should be implemented in the treatment strategy.
In Denmark as well as in Finland the rehabilitation after proximal humerus fractures takes place in local centers in the municipalities, and the rehabilitation offered to the patients varies significantly. Currently in Denmark there are no national clinical guidelines to support the rehabilitation strategy.

结局指标
主要结局
The Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)
时间窗: Measured at 3 months after fracture
Patient reported outcome measure of physical function in the upper extremity. Measures on a 0-100 scale, where a higher score indicates greater disability. The scores will be compared between the 2 groups
次要结局
- Constant Murley Shoulder Score(Measured after 3 and 12 months.)
- Pain catastrophizing Scale(Measured at baseline, after 3 and 12 months)
- The Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)(Measured at baseline and after 12 months)
- 15-dimentional health-realted quality of life instrument (15D)(Measured at baseline, after 3 and 12 months)
- Generel Self-Efficacy scale(Measured at baseline, after 3 and 12 months)
- Accelerometer based activity in the upper extremity(Measured at 3 and 12 months)
