First seen May 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how being in the hospital affects the physical and thinking skills of adults aged 65 and older who have an orthopedic injury. Researchers will test muscle strength, mobility, and memory at the start of the stay, after a week, and again a month after leaving the hospital. They will also interview patients and staff to understand what leads to decline, aiming to find ways to prevent it.
