Hip fracture is a leading cause of profound morbidity in individuals aged 65 years and older, ranking the top 10 causes loss disability-adjusted life-years for older adults. Worldwide, number people with hip expected to rise significantly due aging population other factors. Physical therapist management recommended within medical, surgical, multidisciplinary clinical practice guideline (CPGs) considered be standard care rehabilitation fracture. The goal this CPG was review evidence relevant...
AIM:To investigate the feasibility of a 6-wk progressive strength-training programme commenced shortly after hip fracture surgery in community-dwelling patients. METHODS:This prospective, single-blinded cohort study evaluated 31 patients from four outpatient geriatric health centres aged 60 years or older, who started at mean 17.5 ± 5.7 d surgery.The intervention consisted primarily fractured kneeextension and bilateral leg press strength training (twice weekly), with relative loads...
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is widely used as a clinical outcome measure. However, the reliability of 6MWT unknown in individuals who have recently experienced hip fracture. aim this study was to evaluate relative and absolute interrater with fracture.Two senior physical therapy students independently examined convenience sample 20 participants randomized order. Their assessments were separated by 2 days followed guidelines American Thoracic Society. Hip fracture-related pain assessed...
Despite the great individual and societal burden associated with multimorbidity, little is known about how to effectively manage it.
Abstract Background Recovery of function and regaining muscle strength are challenging after hip fracture. We compared the effectiveness a 12- versus 6-week outpatient physical therapy program with progressive resistive training (PRT) to increase performance. Methods This parallel, superiority, 2-group randomized controlled trial was conducted in 4 clinics that enrolled community-dwelling, cognitively intact older adults (+60 years) surgical repair fracture no major medical conditions....
