Conclusion : Based on available evidence , older adults with hip fracture engage in prolonged sedentary behavior and have low levels of physical activity during rehabilitation and recovery
Objective : To synthesize evidence on older adults ’  sedentary behavior and physical activity during rehabilitation and recovery for hip fracture ( 1 ) across the care continuum and ( 2 ) from clinical interventions .
Motivational interviewing increases physical activity and self-efficacy in people living in the community after hip fracture: a randomized controlled trial
Objective : To investigate if motivational interviewing improved physical activity , self-efficacy , quality of life , mobility and mental health in people living in the community after hip fracture . Design : Single-blind r and omized controlled trial . Setting : Community . Participants : A total of 30 adults after hip fracture who had been discharged from rehabilitation to independent living in the community and allocated to a control group ( n = 14 ) or an intervention group ( n = 16 ) . Intervention : All participants received usual care . The intervention group also received eight weekly sessions of motivational interviewing as additional input , with the control group having no additional matching input . Main outcomes : The primary outcome was physical activity levels as measured by an accelerometer ( steps taken per day , time spent walking per day , and time spent sitting or lying each day ) . Secondary outcomes included self-efficacy ( confidence about walking and not falling ) , health-related quality of life , mobility and mental health . Results : Relative to usual care , the motivational interviewing group took significantly more steps per day ( mean = 1237 steps , 95 % confidence interval ( CI ) 12 to 2463 ) , walked for longer per day ( mean = 14.4 minutes , 95 % CI 0.6 to 28.8 ) , had improved self-efficacy evidence d by being more confident about walking ( mean = 1.6 units out of 10 , 95 % CI 0.3 to 2.9 ) and not falling ( mean = 1.1 units out of 10 , 95 % CI 0.3 to 1.9 ) and improved health-related quality of life and mental health . Conclusion : This study provides preliminary evidence that motivational interviewing can result in clinical ly meaningful improvements in physical activity and psychosocial outcomes for people recovering from hip fracture
