Summary

This clinical study examines whether a co-designed mobility intervention can be delivered in routine hospital care after hip fracture surgery.

Hip fracture is a common and serious condition among older adults and is associated with loss of independence, complications, and increased mortality. During hospitalization, many patients remain inactive, even though early and frequent mobility is considered important for recovery.

The HIP-ME-UP intervention was developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers, and hospital management. It aims to support early mobilization, independence in basic mobility activities such as getting in and out of bed and increased physical activity during hospitalization.

The study will investigate whether the intervention is feasible to deliver in routine clinical practice, whether it is delivered as intended, and whether it is acceptable to patients and healthcare professionals.

Participants admitted after a hip fracture surgery will receive the intervention during hospitalization. Researchers will collect information on recruitment, retention, fidelity, acceptability, and mobility-related outcomes. Approximately 25 participants will be included.

The results will help determine whether a larger effectiveness study should be conducted.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HIP-ME-UP mobility intervention

A multicomponent intervention designed to support early and frequent mobility during hospitalization after hip fracture surgery. The intervention includes a dedicated porter supporting mobility activities, standardized training concept to promote independence in bed transfer, group-based exercise supervised by physiotherapists, and encouragement of personal activities of daily living in the bathroom. The intervention is delivered by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and porters as part of routine clinical care during hospitalization.
