Study name	Efficacy of physiotherapist‐supervised rehabilitation after proximal humerus fracture
Methods	Double‐blind randomised controlled trial
Participants	70 participants, aged 60 years or older, with a low‐energy proximal humeral displaced (more than 5 mm or 30 degrees) two‐part fracture where fracture line emerges through the surgical (or anatomical) neck, treated non‐operatively
Interventions	1. Physiotherapist‐supervised training once per week during 10 weeks in addition to home‐based training 2. Ten weeks of home‐based training with no supervision of a physiotherapist
Outcomes	Follow‐up: 3 and 12 months Primary outcome: DASH (3 months after fracture) Secondary outcomes: DASH (at 12 months), Constant score, 15‐dimensional health‐related quality‐of‐life instrument, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, General Self‐Efficacy Scale, accelerometer‐based activity in the upper extremity Other outcomes: cost‐effectiveness
Starting date	Start: 24 April 2018. Estimated study completion date: October 2021
