Understanding the relationship between psychological factors and important health outcomes in older adults with hip fracture: A structured scoping review

Emerging trends and prospects in telerehabilitation for hip fracture: Bibliometric and visualization study

“…Despite studies demonstrating the significant impact of depression on hip fracture recovery, there is little understanding of why or how this occurs. 57 There is room for future research to evaluate factors that may interfere with or moderate the development of depression symptoms and overall recovery outcomes, or trigger the development of psychological factors in the first place. 57 In addition, there are several methods used in the literature to describe and measure psychological factors and recovery outcomes, and due to the heterogeneity of measures makes comparing results of different studies difficult.…”

According to a recent scoping review of psychological characteristics and recovery post-hip fracture, the main psychological factors reported after a hip fracture are depression, fear of falling, resilience, and anxiety 54. There was an overall trend of association between some psychological factors and several recovery outcomes, specifically functional outcomes (eg, mobility and muscle strength).…”
