To examine the effect of an additional 2-week health professional-led functional exercise programme compared to usual care for patients after hip fracture during a short-term nursing home stay directly after hospital discharge.
One hundred and forty participants, 65 years or older with hip fracture, admitted to a short-term nursing home stay were randomised to an intervention group or control group. Participants in the intervention group (n = 78) received the experimental programme consisted of functional exercises, performed by health care professionals up to four times a day, 7 days a week, in addition to usual care during a 2-week short-term nursing home stay. Participants in the control group (n = 62) received usual care alone. Primary outcome was Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Secondary outcomes were Timed Up & Go, New Mobility Score, The University of California, Los Angeles Activity Scale, Fall Efficacy Scale International, The EuroQol five dimension five-level questionnaire, and Numeric Rating Scale for pain. Outcome measures were assessed after 2 weeks in a short-term nursing home stay and 3 months after hip fracture surgery. The activity monitor ActivPal registered activity during the 2-week short-term nursing home stay.
No statistically significant differences between groups was found in any outcomes after 2 weeks or 3 months (p > 0.05). There were statistically significant within-group improvements in primary outcome SPPB and in most secondary outcomes at all time points in both groups (p > 0.05).
A 2-week health professional-led functional exercise programme in addition to usual care demonstrated no difference in clinical outcomes compared to usual care alone up to 3 months after hip fracture. The patients with hip fracture are fragile and vulnerable in this early phase, and usual physiotherapy may be sufficient to improve their physical function.

研究与常规护理相比，在髋部骨折患者出院后短期入住疗养院期间，由健康专业人员提供的为期 2 周的额外功能性锻炼方案对他们的短期影响。
140 名 65 岁及以上、髋部骨折、入住短期疗养院的患者被随机分为干预组和对照组。干预组（n=78）患者接受实验性方案，该方案包括由医疗保健专业人员在 2 周的短期疗养院期间每天进行多达 4 次的功能性锻炼，除常规护理外还接受额外的治疗。对照组（n=62）仅接受常规护理。主要结果是简短体能表现电池测试（SPPB）。次要结果是起立行走计时测试、新移动评分、加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶活动量表、跌倒效能国际量表、欧洲五维健康量表、疼痛数字评分量表。在短期疗养院期间和髋部骨折手术后 3 个月评估了结果测量值。在 2 周的短期疗养院期间，使用活动监测器 ActivPal 记录了活动量。
在 2 周或 3 个月后，两组之间在任何结果上均无统计学差异（p>0.05）。两组的主要结果 SPPB 和大多数次要结果在所有时间点都有统计学上的显著的组内改善（p>0.05）。
与单独常规护理相比，在髋部骨折后 3 个月内，除常规护理外，由健康专业人员提供的为期 2 周的功能性锻炼方案在临床结果上没有差异。在这个早期阶段，髋部骨折的患者身体脆弱，易受影响，常规物理治疗可能足以改善他们的身体功能。
