Study Summary
This trial is testing whether the Otago Exercise Program, which is a home-based program, is effective in reducing the risk of falls among older adults with mild cognitive impairment who have had a fall-related hip fracture.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 65 or older who have had a fall-related hip fracture within the last year, can walk a short distance with or without help, and have mild cognitive issues but no dementia. They must be able to communicate in English and not be on certain dementia medications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if the Otago Exercise Program (a home-based exercise routine) is better than usual care at reducing the risk of falls among older adults with mild cognitive impairment after they've suffered a hip fracture.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an exercise program, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and increased risk of falling during exercises. Usual care typically has minimal side effects.

Other Research
The most common treatments for hip fractures, particularly those similar to the Otago Exercise Program, focus on improving muscle strength and balance to reduce the risk of falls. These treatments typically involve resistance training and balance exercises, which enhance lower extremity strength and proprioception.
This is crucial for hip fracture patients, as increased muscle strength and better balance can significantly reduce the likelihood of subsequent falls, thereby preventing further fractures. For patients with cognitive impairments, these exercises are particularly beneficial as they help mitigate the increased fall risk associated with cognitive decline, ultimately aiding in the restoration of function and independence.
