The findings from this review suggest that community-based rehabilitation post hospital discharge interventions show promising results towards improving various physical function outcomes, mobility, and activities of daily living for older adults with CI following a hip fracture.

Additionally, several substantive gaps that require attention to move this field forward are highlighted.
