This Study Aims to Measure the Effect of Acute Hospitalisation on the Physical and Cognitive Functioning of Older Orthopaedic Patients (Aged 65 or Above).
This study looks at how a hospital stay for a bone or joint injury affects older people's physical and thinking abilities. We'll ask patients aged 65 and over to do some simple tests and questionnaires before, during, and after their hospital visit to understand these changes.
