Association Between Orthostatic Hypotension and Handgrip Strength With Successful Rehabilitation in Elderly Hip Fracture Patients.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and muscle strength versus time to successful rehabilitation within elderly patients with hip fracture.

Design: A prospective, observational cohort study. Handgrip strength was measured at the day of admission and OH as soon as possible after surgery.
