Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to compliance with and effect of soft and hard hip protectors in Norwegian nursing homes
Detailed Description:
Hip fractures are a major cause of disability and functional limitation Hip protectors have shown to have the potential to lower the risk of a fracture by reducing the impact on the hip region during falls but low uptake and adherence have been a problem
Changing the hip protectors design might give a higher uptake and adherence The aim of this study is to compare uptake adherence and effect of soft and hard hip protectors in Norwegian nursing homes Because a soft hip protector seems to be more comfortable we expect a higher uptake and adherence with the soft hip protector specially when it comes to 24 hour use If the soft hip protector has the same protective quality as the hard hip protector the soft hip protector will be a better alternative than the hard one
This cluster randomized study is performed in 18 Norwegian nursing homes in 2 municipalities The study started May 15 2006 and will end November 30 2006
All permanent residents are invited to participate in the study either as a user of hip protector or as a non user
