Summary

With simple technology investigators can map how long it takes for a patient with a hip fracture to be helped and encouraged to stand and walk in the days following the injury. A small sensor on the thigh can measure advanced data regarding movement patterns. The limited research results available show that patients spend too much time lying down or sitting, which can lead to poorer recovery, complications, and an increased risk of death. The project maps the current situation in orthopedic emergency care as well as in orthopedic geriatric care, which is provided in a modern building with single rooms and private bathrooms. In addition to better understanding the significance of different care models, the project aims to present baseline data that future intervention studies can use as control material. The project will also connect the activity level of the patients during the hospital stay with ongoing rehabilitation studies in community follow-up care.

Conditions

  • Hip Fractures (ICD-10 72.01-72.2)

Interventions

DEVICE

Inertial measurement unit

A sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), will be attached to the thigh when the individual is on the postoperative ward and will be worn throughout the hospital stay. The IMU measures 7.9 x 3.2 x 0.8 cm and records body positions, movements, and gait parameters.
