BikeNof Pilot Trial

Fifty-one people with hip fracture were recruited within 4 days of surgery. Half were randomised to receive a recumbent bike riding protocol. Data were collected at three timepoints: Baseline (within 4 days of surgery), Day 7 Post-surgery and Hospital Discharge. Data collected included demographic data, clinical data (frailty, delirium, premorbid cognitive decline, fracture type, pre-morbid mobility). Current mobility status (primary outcome) was measured using the mILOA at Day 7 (n = 50) and Hospital Discharge (n = 48). Other outcomes collected at Hospital Discharge included gait speed (n = 34), cognition (MoCA; n = 31), EQ-5D-3L (n =39), Days to meet mobility milestone (walk 15 m two consecutive days) (n= 44), LoS (n=51). Data on usual care physiotherapy available for 51 participants (until day 7 post surgery, or until mobility milestone met); Data on cycling intervention available for n = 24 participants)
