OPTIONS (OsteoPorotic fracTure preventION System) Study: Effectiveness of a multi-modal intervention for transitions of care after lower limb fracture
Many older adults, like you, have a leg or hip fracture that is often due to weakening of the bones or osteoporosis. We want to see if two different care plans offered in the skilled nursing facility improve the ability to do daily activities and quality of life in older people in the year after a hip or leg fracture. The study is being conducted in 42 skilled nursing facilities across the US and half the facilities (21) focused on fall prevention [STEADI OPTIONS group] and the other half (21) focused on strengthening bones [OPTIONS Study group]. This study will provide useful knowledge for skilled nursing facilities providing rehabilitative care and community-based programs to help improve recovery after a hip or leg fracture.
