Community ambulation before and after hip fracture: a qualitative analysis

Abstract: Patients living back in the community after hip fracture described a reduced level of functioning and a pessimism that contrasted with the optimism expressed by people who were still in the inpatient phase of rehabilitation. These findings, and the importance of psychological factors and social support, may be considered when designing rehabilitation strategies to support the successful transition of people to their community after hip fracture.
