Perioperative interventions to improve early mobilisation and physical function after hip fracture: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perioperative interventions could enhance early mobilisation and physical function after hip fracture surgery.

Objective

Determine the effectiveness of perioperative interventions on early mobilisation and physical function after hip fracture.

Methods

Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science were searched from January 2000 to March 2022. English language experimental and quasi-experimental studies were included if patients were hospitalised for a fractured proximal femur with a mean age 65 years or older and reported measures of early mobilisation and physical function during the acute hospital admission. Data were pooled using a random effect meta-analysis.

Results

Twenty-eight studies were included from 1,327 citations. Studies were
