Hypothesis
The relationship between perceived mobility, locomotor capacity, and real-world mobility in older hip fracture patients evolves over time.
Conclusion
The study highlights the need to prioritize certain aspects of mobility assessment in older hip fracture patients for better clinical understanding.
Takeaway
This study looks at how older people who have had hip fractures move around in real life and how they feel about their ability to move.
Methodology
Mobility was assessed at baseline and after 12 months in a cohort of hip fracture patients.
Participant Demographics
Older hip fracture patients.
