Exercise Program and Follow-up in the Elderly After Hip Fracture Surgery Using a Digital Application.

Background In recent years, Western populations have experienced an increase in life expectancy and therefore an ageing population. This has led to an increase in the number of low-energy hip fractures, which have a major impact in terms of mortality, mobility and loss of function in activities of daily living in this segment of the population. Objectives To determine the impact in terms of functional recovery, return to pre-hip fracture functional status, of elderly patients treated with the new multimodal therapeutic exercise programme and follow-up for one year compared to patients treated with the previously developed standardised nursing care plan at the Hospital San Juan de Dios de León. Methodology Ambispective observational study of cohort with two groups, an exposed cohort (retrospective) and a non-exposed cohort (protective factor), made up of people over 65 years of age referred from the Emergency Department of the University Care Centre of León (CAULE) with a confirmed diagnosis of hip fracture, who underwent hip fracture surgery in theHospital San Juan de Dios de León during the years 2020 and 2021. In order to carry out an analysis of the new care model proposed by the area of orthogeriatrics for the year 2021: functional recovery programme and its follow-up through a digital application, the entire simple universe will be included (analysis of the complete cohort) with follow-up over a period of one year.
