Strengthening recovery: the impact of paired exercises in geriatric hip fracture rehabilitation—the PaLMe project
The PaLMe program significantly enhances physical and psychological recovery in senior patients after hip fracture surgery, demonstrating its potential as an effective rehabilitation strategy. Feasibility findings indicate strong acceptability but highlight logistical barriers, such as scheduling conflicts and adherence challenges, which must be addressed to optimize implementation. Further research is warranted to explore long-term outcomes and scalability across broader settings.
