Brief Summary: This pilot study will look at whether it is possible to give better physical therapy to people with cognitive limitations who have had a hip fracture.
Detailed Description: Although a small number of interventions have been found to be effective in improving mobility and functional recovery after a hip fracture, these studies have routinely excluded patients with cognitive limitations, a group with poor outcomes after hip fracture. It is estimated that 15-20% of all hip fracture patients experience cognitive limitation following surgery from previously undetected cognitive impairment, delirium, and other post-operative complications that persist following hospital discharge and those with cognitive limitations are slow to recover. Despite potential for a full recovery, many hip fracture patients with cognitive limitation may be discharged early from rehabilitation settings due to misperceptions about rehabilitation potential, or other psychological issues that limit their participation.

The innovation of this study is that it focuses on a critically vulnerable and costly group of patients (hip fracture patients with cognitive limitations) with an extended intervention that is tailored to the patient's needs and cognitive abilities. The post-rehabilitation period after hip fracture has been largely ignored and little is known about the effective strategies to help transition and maintain hip fracture patients (especially those with cognitive limitations) in the home setting. HipERS utilizes an effective approach to address for functional gains, but where limited attention has been given. It focuses on motivational and behavioral challenges in patients with cognitive limitations and their caregivers, which has been largely ignored in the hip fracture research

This study will gather information from 5 people with cognitive limitations who fractured a hip. Caregivers (family relative or non-relative, unpaid or paid, formal or informal) will also be invited to participate. Hip fracture participants will receive a home-based exercise intervention that will start after their "normal" rehabilitation is done. The function-based exercise intervention will be provided by physical therapists 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks. Additionally, the physical therapist will encourage the caregiver to motivate and actively engage the hip fracture participant in the therapist-prescribed home exercise program so that this can be maintained at the end of the 6-week intervention. The feasibility of the intervention will be based on the percentage of sessions participants complete. The information we get from this feasibility study will be used to plan a larger study.
