Use of the mobile app improved exercise adherence, yet it did not improve physical performance, self-efficacy and reduce caregiver stress when compared to a standard home rehabilitation program for elderly patients with hip fracture. Further studies to investigate the benefits of mobile apps are required. (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04053348.).
