Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effects of home-based balance training on the elderly with femoral neck fracture. Methods A total of 70 elderly hip fracture patients were divided into two groups from January 2015 to December 2015 by random number table. 35 cases were in the intervention group, and 35 cases in the control group. The patients in control groups were given routine outpatient care. In addition, the patients of intervention group received home-based balance training. The scores of Harris, AROM and balance control were collected at the 1st, 3rd and 6th months after operation, and compared between two groups. Results The results of Harris score were (79.34±16.24) and (88.62±13.85) at 3rd and 6th months after operation, and AROM score (4.29±0.41) , (4.88±0.81) and balance control (43.24±4.39) and (47.19±5.77) in the intervention group which were significantly righter than those of the control group (t=2.180, 3.016, 7.336, 5.298, 4.214, 6.228; P<0.05) . Conclusions Home-based balance training can promote balance control and rehabilitation efficacy for elderly patients with femoral neck fracture.
