Objective: To compare the effects of weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing home exercise programs and a control program on physical ability (strength, balance, gait, functional performance) in older people who have had a hip fracture.Design: Randomized controlled trial with 4-month follow-up.Setting: Australian community-dwellers (82%) and residents of aged care facilities who had completed usual care after a fall-related hip fracture.Participants: One hundred twenty older people entered the trial, 40 per group (average age +/- standard deviation, 79+/-9y) and 90% completed the 4-month retest.Intervention: Home exercise prescribed by a physical therapist.Main Outcome Measures: Strength, balance, gait, and functional performance.Results: At the 4-month retest, there were differences between the groups in the extent of improvement since the initial assessment for balance (F-10,F-196 = 2.82, P
