Transition from inpatient rehabilitation to the home environment in cognitively impaired older persons after hip fracture.

CONCLUSION: While significant improvements in physical performance indicate a high potential for further enhancements in the majority of participants following inpatient rehabilitation, a considerable subgroup dropped out, partly indicating a negative trajectory in this vulnerable patient group. Sustained physical training or promotion of activity at home may further support rehabilitation in patients with hip/pelvic fracture and cognitive impairment.
