- Short Physical Performance Battery [ Time Frame: 12 months post-fracture ]The primary outcome for this trial is the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The SPPB is composed of three separate tests that are timed and categorized depending on performance. The three domains evaluated in the SPPB are standing balance, gait speed, and sit to stand performance.
- Sedentary behaviour (accelerometry) minutes and percentage of daily sedentary behaviour [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Physical Activity (accelerometry) minutes of time spent in light and MVPA [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Global cognition (MoCA) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Executive Function (Stroop and Trail B) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
