Resistance training in the early postoperative phase reduces hospitalization and leads to muscle hypertrophy in elderly hip surgery patients- A controlled, randomized study
Article Abstract:
A study to better understand how immobilization and surgery affect muscle size and function in the elderly and to identify effective training regimes is presented. An investigation of whether elderly patients who had undergone the hip-replacement surgery could benefit from additional training in the early postoperative phase and more specifically what training modality would be most effective is made.
