Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to compare a low versus high intensity physiotherapy early rehabilitation program combined with a low versus high dose vitamin D early rehabilitation program in a randomized controlled trial among elderly patients with acute hip fracture in an acute care setting The primary outcome to be compared between treatment arms is the rate of falls during a 12-month follow-up Secondary outcomes are injurious falls number of persons who fell low-trauma fractures at the hip forearm humerus pelvis ankle spine femur tibia disability quality of life Euro-Qol mortality and health care utilization Another secondary outcome will be admission to nursing home compared between treatment arms among subjects who are community-dwelling prior to the index hip fracture Admission to nursing home is the marker of loss of independence for the individual but also triggers high cost for the society

The study will provide new early rehabilitation guidelines to allocate health care resources efficiently in the acute care setting Eventually and most importantly the study will help improve outcomes in patients with hip fractures
Detailed Description: Subjects

The researchers will enroll 204 elderly subjects men and women admitted to two large hospital centers with acute hip fracture Subjects may be institutionalized or community-dwelling prior to admission To be enrolled in the study subjects need to be 65 years or older Demented persons who reach a Folstein Mini Mental Status of less than 15 are excluded

Design

Once written informed consent from participants or proxies is given subjects will be randomly assigned to 4 different program combinations based on a 2X2 factorial design 1 low dose vitamin D low intensity physiotherapy or 2 low dose vitamin D high intensity physiotherapy or 3 high dose vitamin D low intensity physiotherapy or 4 high dose vitamin D high intensity physiotherapy Low dose Vitamin D is 800 IU cholecalciferol per day and high dose vitamin D is 2000 IU cholecalciferol per day

Subjects will be recruited within 5 days after hip fracture surgery and followed for adverse outcomes over a 12-month period Dose of vitamin D will be double-blinded
