Helping people with dementia move after hip surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors and nurses talk to people with dementia to help them get moving sooner after hip fracture surgery. The goal is to improve communication so recovery goes better.
