In this single-blinded, non-randomized clinical trial, we included older with hip fracture. The tele-rehabilitation group received a 12-week tele-rehabilitation program (supervised by their family caregivers). The control group received the usual postoperative rehabilitation provided by the Andalusian health system (Spain). The primary outcome was the patient-reported functional status assessed with the Functional Independence Measure. We also measured performance-based functional recovery using the Timed Up and Go Test and Short Physical Performance Battery. We performed both a per-protocol (62 participants; 28 tele-rehabilitation and 34 control groups) and an intention-to-treat analysis (71 participants; 35 tele-rehabilitation and 36 control groups). Participants who used the tele-rehabilitation program had higher Functional Independence Measure scores (high effect size: 0.98 Cohen's d; penAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/activities of daily livingexercisemobilityrehabilitationActivities of Daily LivingAgedHip FracturesHumansPostural BalanceSpainTelerehabilitationTime and Motion StudiesTreatment Outcomeresearch article34065523open access10.3390/ijerph181054931660-4601PMC8161237https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/10/5493/pdf?version=1621560297https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8161237/pdf
