Abstract

Objective: To analyze the improvement effect of early postoperative rehabilitation training on balance ability and quality of life in elderly patients with hip fracture. Methods: A total of 50 elderly patients with hip fracture admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected and divided into the observation group (25 cases) and the control group (25 cases) by random number table method. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received early rehabilitation training on the basis of routine nursing. The balance ability (Berg Balance Scale, BBS) and quality of life (SF-36) of the two groups were compared. Results: The BBS scores of the observation group at all postoperative time points were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05), and the quality-of-life scores of the observation group were also significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Early postoperative rehabilitation training for elderly patients with hip fracture can improve their balance ability, enhance their quality of life, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
