| Annotation | Of 34 articles identified initially from database searches referring to the physical therapy management of hip fracture in older people, 15 studies met the criteria and were independently reviewed and classified according to Sackett's levels of evidence. Six studies were graded at level I, six at level II and three at level V; level I has the highest level of evidence. From the levels of evidence, one grade A, three grade B aan two grade C recommendations were developed, with grade A being the most significant recommendation. Clinical recommendations are offered about patients and dementia, therapeutic exercise, and when and for how long rehabilitation should continue. (RH). |
