INITIATE: Increase mobility in hospital after hip fracture

Each year, there are 70,000 new cases of hip fracture in the UK, with an associated ongoing annual cost of health and social care of £3 billion. National standards recommend two hours of inpatient rehabilitation after surgery per week, but we do not know if this is enough.

 

This study seeks to find out if more ward-based mobilisation activity allows people who have had surgery for a hip fracture to get home more quickly and stay living in their own home.
