Delivering high quality hip fracture rehabilitation: the perspective of occupational and physical therapy practitioners.
This study aimed to identify rehabilitation practitioners' perspectives on the practices that constitute high quality hip fracture rehabilitation. The investigators suggest that guidelines are critical tools to facilitate clinical decision-making and achieve desired patient outcomes. The authors suggest that future research is needed to verify the findings from other stakeholders (e.g., patients), ensure the alignment of our findings with current evidence, and develop measures for evaluating their delivery and relationship to desired outcomes.
