What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Difference in the 6-minutes walking test

    The 6-minutes walking test, performed according to international guidelines.

    Measured: at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks (primary analysis) and 24 weeks after baseline testing

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Difference of the Maximal isometric knee-extension strength of the fractured limb.

    The best of 5 maximal isometric unilateral knee-extension strength tests of both limbs, measured with a fixated handheld dynamometer

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks after baseline testing

  2. Difference in 10-meter fast speed walking test

    Best of 3 timed 10 meter fast speed walk tests.

    Measured: At baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after baseline testing

  3. Difference in the Timed Up & Go test

    Best of 3 timed TUG tests will be used.

    Measured: At baseline and 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks after baseline testing

  4. Difference in the Short Form-36

    The Questionnaire will be filled out during an interview with the patient

    Measured: At baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks after baseline testing

  5. Difference in the New Mobility Score

    The questionnaire will be filled out during an interview with the patient.

    Measured: At baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks after baseline testing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Strength training in people with Hip Fracture, run by Lolland Community, Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in the 6-minutes walking test (time frame: at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks (primary analysis) and 24 weeks after baseline testing). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01174589, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2014.
