A simple intervention to improve day 1 mobility following fragility hip fracture: the Cardiac Chair Position
Although CCP did not affect survival or hospital stay, it did enhance day 1 mobility. Given its simplicity, CCP is a promising addition to hip fracture rehabilitation. Further studies, including randomized trials and cost-effectiveness assessments, are needed to confirm its broader benefits. This research underscores the importance of early mobilization in elderly patients with fragility fractures.
