The consequences for an individual can be devastating including reduced mobility, loss of independence and ultimately admission to a nursing home. This study aims to identify strategies to assist clinicians in the individual prescription of the most appropriate therapy, improve rehabilitation programs and ultimately the outcomes for hip fracture sufferers.
