Prevalence of vision, hearing, and combined vision and hearing impairments in patients with hip fractures
Journal of Clinical Nursing, 09/11/09
Grue EV et al. – The authors recommend routine screening for sensory impairments in patients with hip fractures. Most sensory problems can be treated or relieved with environmental adjustments. Patients should be encouraged to seek treatment and training for adapting to sensory deficiencies. This approach may reduce the number of falls and improve the ability to sustain independent living.
