The aim of this study is to evaluate whether integrating a technology-based rehabilitation approach with conventional therapies in the rehabilitation of patients with proximal femoral fracture may be advantageous compared with conventional therapy alone. Specifically, the objective is to assess whether the addition of technology-assisted rehabilitation can improve cognitive function, in addition to motor function and overall abilities, compared with conventional rehabilitation alone. Furthermore, the study intends to explore the feasibility of implementing technology-assisted rehabilitation as a stable and routine component of everyday clinical practice, also considering the perspective of healthcare professionals.
