Effect of postoperative hip joint exercises therapy on physical mobility status among patients with hip fracture surgery

Shaimaa Sayed Mohamed, Jehan Sayed Ali, Ahmed Osman, Hend Elham Mohamed and Saher Hamza Taha

Background: Hip fractures (HF) range from benign to potentially fatal, based on the mechanism of injuries and connected vascular injury. The term hip fracture or head of femur fracture describes a break or fracture close to the upper 3rd of the femur, expanding to five cm under the smaller trochanter.
Objective: Evaluate the effect of post-operative exercises on physical mobility status among patients with hip fracture surgery (HF).
Sample: A purposive composed of sixty patients post hip fracture operation.
Tools: Three tools in this research. The first tool was a structured questionnaire for patient interviews. First Part: Demographic Data (DD) and Medical Data (MD). 2nd tool: Cumulated ambulation scale (CAS). 3rd tool: Oxford muscle strength scale.
Results: there is a statistically significant difference (P ≤ 0.01) between the pre- as well as post-test of the study groups regarding all items of the implemented exercises program; the intervention group (IG) or post-test group improves ambulation score due to strengthening the muscles through exercises compared to the pre-test.
Conclusion: Early Nursing intervention and exercise therapy performance improve the physical mobility of hip fractured patients in the post-test group after surgery post six months.
Recommendation: Designing standardized structured nursing protocol regarding hip fracture in the post-operative to upgrade nurses' knowledge and practice, and further research studies are needed on larger study samples.
