Tracking recovery after a fall in older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study follows older adults who came to the emergency department after a simple fall (no serious injury) to understand how well they recover over the next 30 days. It aims to identify factors that might lead to a decline in daily function.
