This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (tailored exercise and nutrition support before surgery) helps older patients who are frail recover better after hip or knee replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation group or the usual care group.
This study watches how nervous patients feel before hip replacement surgery and how that connects to their overall strength and ability to bounce back. Researchers want to understand whether anxiety levels and frailty affect each other in older adults.
This study looks at how frailty and inflammation affect recovery after a hip fracture in older adults. It aims to find biomarkers that could help personalize care.
This study looks at how frailty (a state of being physically weak and less resilient) before hip or knee replacement surgery affects thinking and memory problems after surgery in older adults. It aims to help identify patients who may need extra support.
This study looks at frailty in people aged 65+ with a specific type of hip fracture (trochanteric femur fracture) who need surgery. It aims to find better ways to predict frailty, which could help doctors plan care.
This study tests an exercise program for older adults who are frail and recovering from hip fracture surgery. Its goal is to help people become stronger and more independent after surgery.
