Health concerns, such as frailty and osteoporotic fractures decrease functional capacity increase use of health social care services in the aging population. The ability to continue living at home is dependent on capacity, which can be enhanced by rehabilitation. We study effects a 12-month home-based physiotherapy program with follow-up duration home, among older persons signs frailty, or recently operated hip fracture. This non-blinded, parallel group, randomized controlled trial performed...
Long-term functional limitations are common after hip fractures. Exercise may alleviate these negative consequences but there is no consensus on an optimal training program. The objective was to study the effects of a 12-month home-based supervised, progressive exercise program functioning, physical performance, and activity.Secondary analysis randomized controlled trial targeting patients with surgical repair fracture, aged ≥60 years, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥12....
In these times of precision and personalized medicine, profiling patients to identify their needs is crucial providing the best most cost-effective treatment. this study, we used urine metabolomics explore characterization older adults with hip fractures forecasting patient outcomes. Overnight specimens were collected from 33 (mean age 80 ± 8 years) after fracture surgery during stay at a rehabilitation hospital. The analyzed 1H NMR spectroscopy. We performed study regarding assessments...
