Summary

The final goals of the present study is to propose a new approach in the hip fracture rehabilitation in elderly subjects, focused on the use of robotic device and to check the results not only at the end of the treatment but also in the long term, foreseeing 3 follow-up.

Conditions

  • Hip Fractures
  • Frail Elderly
  • Robotic Rehabilitation

Interventions

OTHER

traditional rehabilitation

Each session will include 50 minutes of traditional physical rehabilitation therapy

OTHER

virtual reality games intervention

Each session will include 30 minutes of traditional physical rehabilitation therapy followed by 20 minutes of robotic training by Tymo system (Tyromotion, Austria), a wireless platform for the balance and the postural control training that simulates floor walking and stairs climbing. Tymo system is connected to a screen and provides virtual reality games, adaptable to the functional capacity of the patient. Through the games proposed, the physiotherapist will decide to work in a dimension (antero-posterior or medio-lateral dimension) or in two dimensions (combining the antero-posterior and medio-lateral movements).

OTHER

robotic treadmill intervention

Each session will include 30 minutes of traditional physical rehabilitation therapy followed by 20 minutes of robotic training by Walker view (TecnoBody, Italy), a treadmill equipped with a sensorized belt with eight load cells and a 3D camera.to detect length, speed and symmetry of the pace and load, range of the trunk, hips and knees. Patients will be asked to walk at a comfortable speed, while the physiotherapist will be able to work on different parameters such as step length, load distribution, and step height. The setting will take place taking into account the clinical conditions of each patient, customizing the intervention. The Walker View will offer visual and auditory feedback to the patient, so as to correct gait in real time.
