Key result
Systematic review of post-hip fracture mobility interventions reports no results in the abstract.
Why the study?
Strategies to improve mobility after hip fracture surgery in adults include gait retraining, exercise, and muscle stimulation, but their comparative effects are unclear.
Systematic Review
No actionable evidence from this review; leaves open optimal post-hip fracture mobility interventions.
BACKGROUND: Hip fracture mainly occurs in older people. Strategies to improve mobility include gait retraining, various forms of exercise and muscle stimulation. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of different interventions for improving mobility after hip fracture surgery in adults. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Specialised Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE and other databases, and reference lists of articles, up to April 2010. SELECTION CRITERIA: All randomised or quasi-randomised trials comparing different mobilisation strategies after hip fracture surgery.

Handoll et al. (2011) conducted a systematic review in hip fracture. Mobilisation strategies (gait retraining, exercise, muscle stimulation) vs. Different mobilisation strategies was evaluated on mobility. This systematic review evaluated different interventions for improving mobility after hip fracture surgery in adults, but no results were reported in the abstract.
