The Addition of Aerobic Training to Conventional Rehabilitation After Proximal Femur Fracture: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Conventional rehabilitation and Aerobic exercise for Intertrochanteric Fractures. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of an arm cycle ergometer training in subjects with proximal femur fracture surgically treated. The secondary purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to verify whether the addition of aerobic activity can increase motor performance compared to a conventional exercise program in which no aerobic activity is foreseen.
