Early mobilisation and weight-bearing as tolerated after hip fracture surgery among older adults in China and similar countries: barriers and strategies.

The authors explore the barriers and facilitators to early mobilisation and weight-bearing as tolerated following hip fracture surgery among older adults in China and other countries, like India and Saudi Arabia. Topics discussed include the factors in determining weight-bearing prescriptions, the importance of multidisciplinary co-management and patient education, and the use of a gradual transition approach to expand early mobilisation.
