For elderly trauma patients, a basic goal is early mobilization, as immobilization can trigger various complications, such venous thromboembolism, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and pressure ulcers. Although partial weight-bearing has been shown to significantly increase mortality compared with unrestricted weight-bearing, it remains frequent recommendation of aftercare following lower-extremity fracture fixation.An insole force sensor was used measure true postoperative by patients...
Abstract Background Wearable activity sensors offer valuable insights into physical and are increasingly used in clinical rehabilitation settings. However, most designed for healthy individuals, necessitating a thorough evaluation of their applicability pathological gait patterns. This study aims to assess the accuracy commercially available wearables measuring patterns among patients with lower limb injuries compared individuals. Methods A prospective cohort enrolled 40 participants divided...
Assessment of the physical frailty older patients is great importance in many medical disciplines to be able implement individualized therapies. For tests, time usually used as only objective measure. To record other factors, modern wearables offer potential for generating valid data and integrating into decision-making.The aim this study was compare predictive value insole data, which were collected during Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG) test, benchmark standard questionnaire sarcopenia (SARC-F:...
Zusammenfassung Alterstraumazentren (ATZ) sind spezialisierte Einrichtungen zur Frakturversorgung bei vulnerablen, älteren Traumapatienten, welche aufgrund oftmals vorhandener Begleiterscheinungen wie Osteoporose, Polypharmazie, Sarkopenie etc. ein erhöhtes Fraktur-/Komplikationsrisiko aufweisen. Die häufigsten Frakturen betreffen das Hüftgelenk, den distalen Radius, proximalen Humerus, die Wirbelsäule und Beckenring. Eine zentrale Herausforderung in der Behandlung älterer Patienten ist...
Abstract Background Hip fracture patients in the aging population frequently present with various comorbidities, whilst preservation of independency and activities daily living can be challenging. Thus, an interdisciplinary orthogeriatric treatment these has recognized a growing acceptance last years. As there is still limited data on impact this approach, study aimed to evaluate long-term outcome elderly hip patients, by comparing hospital integrated care (OGC) conventional trauma (CTC)....
Sarcopenia is a common geriatric syndrome and can lead to falls fragility fractures. It associated with decline of muscle fiber numbers size. Muscle biopsies the vastus lateralis were taken from thirty-two patients hip fracture (18 women 14 men; mean age: 82.2 ± 6.2 years). Serial cross sections skeletal labeled myosin heavy chain slow (fiber type-1) fast type-2) antibodies in order measure size, ratio percentage mixed types. The presence sarcopenia was defined according EWGSOP2 criteria by...
Proximal femur fractures predominantly affect older patients and can mark a drastic turning point in their lives. To avoid complications reduce mortality, expert associations recommend surgical treatment within 24-48 h after admission. Due to the high incidence, is provided at wide range of hospitals with different size level care, which may time surgery.Data from 19,712 included 2016 2019 Registry for Geriatric Trauma (ATR-DGU) were analyzed terms surgery, in-house mobilization on first...
