For Patients
When you leave the hospital, you should be offered a rehabilitation program to help get you back to the activities you were able to do before your fracture.
For Clinicians
Provide a rehabilitation program to your hip fracture patients that includes therapies to improve independence in self-care, balance and gait assessment and training, nutritional supplementation, education on safety and fall prevention, a restorative and/or maintenance exercise program, environmental modifications, osteoporosis management and education, and medication management.
For Health Services
Ensure that systems, processes, and resources are in place to allow all hip fracture patients, regardless of cognitive impairment or setting, to participate in a rehabilitation program following surgery.
