Objectives. To study effects of a one-year multicomponent intervention on perceived environmental barriers in hip fracture patients.Design. Randomized controlled trial of a 12-month home-based rehabilitation aiming to improve mobility and function (ISRCTN53680197); secondary analyses.Subjects. Community-dwelling hip fracture patients on average 70 days after trauma (n=81).Methods. Assessments at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months later included perceived entrance-related barriers (e.g., indoor/outdoor stairs, lighting, floor surfaces, and storage for mobility devices) and perceived barriers in the outdoor environment (poor street condition, hilly terrain, long-distances, and lack of resting places). Sum scores for entrance-related and outdoor barriers were analyzed using general estimating equation models.Results. At baseline, 48% and 37% of the patients perceived at least one entrance-related barrier, and 62% and 60% perceived at least one outdoor barrier in the intervention and control group, respectively. Over time, (P=0.003) the number of entrance-related barriers decreased in both groups (groupP=0.395; interactionP=0.571). For outdoor barriers, time (P=0.199), group (P=0.911), and interaction effect (P=0.430) were not significant.Conclusion. Our intervention had no additional benefit over standard care in hip fracture patients. Further study is warranted to determine whether perceived environmental barriers can be reduced by interventions targeted at the older individual. This trial is registered withISRCTN53680197.

One of the major consequences of stroke impairments is hemiparesis, which affects activities of daily living and contributes sedentary lifestyle. The purpose of this study was evaluation of the effectiveness of home-based exercise rehabilitation incentive on daily living activities and functional capacity among acute ischemic patients. This randomized controlled trial was done from August 2017 to September 2018. Iranian subjects with unilateral ischemic stroke were recruited from inpatient wards at educational hospital. Patients were randomly assigned to the home-based rehabilitation program (intervention group) or usual care (control group). National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel Index Score (BI), Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), and Fugl-Meyer Upper and Lower Extremity Sensorimotor Score were evaluated in both groups at baseline and 3 months later. Intervention group received home-based rehabilitation exercise program for 3 months. Control group did not receive home-based rehabilitation program and incentive telephone call. All data were collected and analyzed by SPSS software (Version 20.0; SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois) using chi-square test to compare demographic variables, and independent and paired t-tests to between- and within-group assessment, respectively. Forty ischemic stroke patients (20 intervention group and 20 control group) were examined. Results showed BI, Fugl-Meyer Upper and Lower Extremity Score, and MRS score in the interventional group were significantly higher than the control group after 3-month home-based exercise rehabilitation ( p < .001). Providing a home rehabilitation program in this study resulted in a motor recovery on ischemic stroke survivors in the acute phase of recovery. This was assumed to be cost-effective intervention in low-income countries
