Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This is a feasibility randomized controlled trial with two groups - experimental and comparison groups, involving older adults after hip fracture surgery within 12 weeks attending the Geriatric Day Hospital. Patients will be assessed at baseline, immediately post 3-weeks intervention, and follow-up after 3-weeks for motor performances, daily activities functioning and fall efficacy. The experimental group will receive home program using the use of Caspar Health e-system and a mobile app in smartphones, while the comparison group will receive paper-and-pencil instructions for the home program on weekly basis, for 3 weeks.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Telerehabilitation group via mobile apps
The experimental group will receive home-based treatment program through mobile apps
Caspar Telerehabilitation
The experimental group will receive home-based treatment program through mobile apps while control group will receive through a written home program sheets. The training contents will be equivalent, including trunk and lower limb strengthening and stretching, coordination, balance, and functional exercises that will be related to patients' daily living activities in their home.
The frequency and duration of the home program will be compromised by both the therapist and the patient. The videos of the home program will be sent to patients' app in smartphone by the therapist in the experimental group. Patients will perform the exercises while watching the videos in the app. After each exercise will be done, patient's performance feedback will be captured by the smartphone and will be sent back to the case therapist each time through the app while those in the control group will record their performance in a log sheet given by the therapists.
