Abstract
Purpose: Hip fracture is one of the most common injuries in older people and the main cause of reduced mobility in adults over the age of 65. Hip fracture can be a life changing experience. Many patients are ill-prepared for the changes in daily living that occur once discharged from hospital. To date there are no systematic reviews that synthesised qualitative data with regard to this. The aim of this review was to understand the views and experiences of patients after hip fracture surgery, of their physiotherapy rehabilitation in the community. This will enable improvements to hip fracture rehabilitation services following hospital discharge to be identified, to enhance the patient experience of community rehabilitation and improve future clinical practice for this population.
