Diagnostic accuracy of the A-test and cutoff points for assessing outcomes and planning acute and post-acute rehabilitation of patients surgically treated for hip fractures and osteoarthritis

Abstract

The A-test has all characteristics of an accurate tool which can be used for separating patients with and without functional disability at all stages of early rehabilitation after surgically treated hip disease or fracture. Based on the results of A-test within the first days of early rehabilitation, it is possible to make a plan for postacute rehabilitation.
