The Oklahoma City Thunder, already without center Isaiah Hartenstein at center due to a hand injury and big man Jaylin Williams with a hamstring strain, now have lost their other star center for at least two months and likely longer than that. Chet Holmgren suffered a right...
WASHINGTON ― A fear of falling, especially fear that persists 3 months after a hip fracture, appears to be predictive of worse outcomes 1 year later and, surprisingly, may impede recovery to a greater extent in those who are higher-functioning before the fracture, new research shows. There a...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate hip fracture risk in relation to fall direction, and to elucidate factors that influence the impact force in falls on the hip. Eight healthy volunteers performed deliberate falls in three directions (lateral, posterolateral and posterior) on a force platfor...
After surgery, many patients experience long-term disability or die as a consequence of the fracture. A fracture is a major risk factor for a subsequent fracture, which may occur within a short interval. Methods: A literature search on post-fracture management of patients with hip fracture was...
Overall, independent risk factors for hip fracture in women can be broadly classified into 7 main groups: bone-related factors, fall-related factors, prior fracture; and anthropometric and lifestyle factors, comorbidity, and genetic background. However, those factors may be interrelated and may ...
It has been shown that the incidence of hip fracture in the elderly may be influenced by the type of floor covering commonly used in homes for the elderly. This study describes the development of a method for modelling a fall during a hip fracture event, to examine the influence of differen...
However, experiencing a fall and hip fracture during the SNF stay was a sentinel event that limited the achievement of this goal. There is an urgent need to ensure the integration of fall prevention into the patient's plan of care. Further, falls among SNF patients may serve as indicator ...
a research assistant professor said. "One potential reason that some countries have seen relatively large declines in hip fractures is better osteoporosis management and post-fracture care," she said. "Better fall-prevention programs and clearer guidelines for clinical care have likely made a differenc...
