Background: Telerehabilitation is gaining popularity in European and American countries, but whether it can be successfully implemented in China still lacks support from clinical studies.
Objective: This trial aimed to determine if a home-based telerehabilitation method is clinically noninferior to standard in-hospital face-to-face rehabilitation for elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) in China.
Methods: This multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted from January 2021 to June 2022 at The First Rehabilitation Hospital in Shanghai, Shanghai Jiao Tong University affiliated Sixth People's Hospital and Shanghai Tongji University affiliated Tenth People's Hospital.

Background: Older adults make up an increasing portion of orthopedic trauma care. Proxy reports are particularly valuable when patients face difficulties formulating answers due to pre-existing or temporary cognitive impairment, and provide critical insights into patient well-being.
Questions/purposes: This study examines the agreement between patient- and proxy-reported outcome measures across various health domains of older adult orthopedic trauma patients, including those with mild cognitive impairment.

Materials usually fracture before reaching their ideal strength limits. Meanwhile, materials with high strength generally have poor ductility, and vice versa. For example, gold with the conventional face-centered cubic (FCC) phase is highly ductile while the yield strength (~10MPa) is significantly lower than its ideal theoretical limit.
