Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Community-dwelling adults ages ≥ 50 years presenting to Liverpool hospital or Bankstown-Lidcombe hospital with a low-trauma (osteoporotic) hip fracture who undergo surgical management
- Anticipated to return to community (private) residence
- Permitted to weight-bear as tolerated post-surgery
- Suitable for inpatient rehabilitation (i.e., requires multidisciplinary rehabilitation, is considered cognitively suitable by the MDT to participate in the rehabilitation program being examined, and would otherwise be admitted to inpatient rehabilitation)
- The presence of a carer, if required for mobility or function, is necessary at the time of transfer to the community. The carer must be prepared to manage the patient within 3 days post-randomisation. This time frame is considered necessary as carers will not be able to complete all required preparations before randomisation, and allowing an extended preparation period could bias the length of physical ward bed stay for the RITH group
- Suitable environment for home-based rehabilitation as assessed by the MDT as per usual practice
Exclusion
- Presence of a concomitant condition that precludes actively participating in a rehabilitation program at home
- Residential location outside the Bankstown-Canterbury, Liverpool, and Fairfield Local Government Areas
- Active end-of-life management or palliative care
- Previously participated in the HITH4Hips or RITH4Hips trials
