Hip fracture represents one of the most severe injuries in the older adults. In long-term survivors, disability is common and walking ability may be considered important predictor of functional recovery. We, therefore, investigated whether 4-m gait speed, assessed in older persons early after surgical repair of hip fracture, could predict functional recovery and subsequent development of major clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Hip fracture represents one of the most severe injuries in the older adults. In long-term survivors, disability is common and walking ability may be considered important predictor of functional recovery. We, therefore, investigated whether 4-m gait speed, assessed in older persons early after surgical repair of hip fracture, could predict functional recovery and subsequent development of major clinical outcomes.
