Methods: This was a descript...
Background: Older adults with a prior history of falls that results in hip fractures have difficulties in regaining pre-fracture functional capacity. Scientific evidence has shown benefits of the implementation of multidimensional rehabilitation programs, but this evidence is not systematized with regard to continuity of care after hospital discharge. Objective: To identify interventions that promote safety and...
