Handgrip strength effectiveness and optimal measurement timing for predicting functional outcomes of a geriatric hip fracture

Abstract Handgrip strength (HGS) now draws attention as one of the predictors of outcomes following geriatric hip fracture; however, its effectiveness and the optimal time to assess HGS remain unknown. Herein, we aimed to determine the usefulness of HGS in predicting the outcomes of geriatric hip fr...
