Sinopsis

Dr. Rebecca Craik, dean of the College of Health Sciences at Arcadia University discusses a study recently published in JAMA (Sept 2019) in which she was co-PI, that looked at the effects of home-based physical therapy on elderly hip fracture patients. The study shows that more rigorous physical therapy than what is usually offered can help return the patient to their "before" lifestyle.
