Patients with similar injuries who were at a similar level of function before the injury differ in the extent of recovery. In an attempt to identify important factors that affect recovery, we collected extensive physical, psychological and sociological data on a group of 108 elderly people with fractures of the hip in order to study the influence of the many variables on their recovery. We found that of all the items studied, those that best indicated the degree of recovery were: (1) the physical therapist's rating of functional ability; (2) how often the patient got outside the home prior to injury; (3) the patient's mental clarity.
受伤前功能水平相似的类似损伤患者，其恢复程度存在差异。为了确定影响恢复的重要因素，我们收集了108名髋部骨折老年人的大量身体、心理和社会学数据，以研究众多变量对其恢复的影响。我们发现，在所有研究的项目中，最能表明恢复程度的是：（1）物理治疗师对功能能力的评分；（2）患者受伤前外出的频率；（3）患者的精神清晰度。
