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.

我们社区中一些最疯狂的成员住在疗养院里，髋部骨折可能会造成痴呆症患者，因为这可能会使他们永久无法行走。我们不知道如何在臀部打破臀部时如何最好地促进康复。目前有一个假设，即在生命的这个阶段康复不值得，但是这项研究将测试收益是否大于成本。我们将测试老年医生和康复的评估是否可以改善步行，独立性和生活质量。
