Abstract
Hip fracture is one of the most common fractures among the elderly population with high rates of mortality and morbidity. The annual incidence of hip fractures is predicted to be increased by around 16 times by the year 2050. Due to the high cost of traditional rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery and the effect of pandemics, telerehabilitation after hip fracture is gaining more importance in recent years. This review is designed to examine the importance and progress of telerehabilitation after hip fracture surgery. PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for English-language sources were searched from their inception using the keywords telerehabilitation and hip fracture between January 2014 and January 2023. The literature search resulted in 29 non-duplicate records and 8 of them were eligible and were included in this review. Telerehabilitation is a feasible, safe, and effective rehabilitation method after hip fracture surgery. However, the ability of elderly patients and their caregivers to use technology and apply what they see seems to be a big disadvantage. The literature lacks long-term studies with larger patient groups.
