Abstract

This bibliographic review article aims to identify the factors that may eventually influence functional recovery in older adult patients, following a hip fracture.

It is concluded that the functional recovery process is multifactorial and can be positively or negatively influenced by factors such as age, previous functional state, nutritional status, cognitive status, the presence of depression, the presence of heart failure, prescribed medications , the fear of falling after the fracture, and the roles that the person has in everyday life.
