Some of the frailest members of our community live in nursing homes and a hip fracture can be devastating to a person with dementia as it can leave them permanently unable to walk. We don't know how best to promote recovery when they break their hips. At present there is an assumption that rehabilitation at this stage of life is not worthwhile but this study will test whether the benefits outweigh the costs. We will test whether an assessment by a geriatrician and rehabilitation improves walking, independence and quality of life.

我们社区中一些最脆弱的成员住在养老院，髋部骨折对痴呆症患者来说可能是毁灭性的，因为它可能使他们永久无法行走。我们不知道如何最好地促进恢复时，他们打破了他们的臀部。目前有一种假设，认为在生命的这个阶段康复是不值得的，但这项研究将测试是否好处大于成本。我们将测试老年病学家的评估和康复是否会改善行走，独立性和生活质量。
