Therapy and physiotherapy choices after surgery for hip fracture are significantly associated with early recovery of mobility of older adults' patients, regardless of their baseline conditions. Early removal of supporting devices promoting prolonged bed immobility, such as air mattress, catheter, and incontinence pad, together with achieving an early upright position, are elements to take into account when planning future trials to understand its efficacy in enabling better recovery of mobility.
