PALMA, Magali et al. REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR THE PERSON WITH FRACTURE OF THE UPPER FEMUR END: CASE STUDY. RPER [online]. 2021, vol.4, n.2, pp.6-17. Epub 03-Dez-2021. ISSN 2184-965X. https://doi.org/10.33194/rper.2021.182.
Introduction:
The fracture of the upper extremity of the femur, often resulting from falls in the elderly, may require surgical intervention and lead to a deficit in the capacity for self-care, with impaired balance, walking and decreased ability to perform their daily life activities.
Objective:
To identify the contributions of rehabilitation nursing care to the self-care of people with fractures of the upper third of the femur.
Methodology:
Case study that respects the CAse REport guidelines, in which the case of a person with a fracture of the upper extremity of the femur is presented.
Results:
There were gains related to the prevention of respiratory and musculoskeletal complications, increased muscle strength, improved balance, functional capacity for self-care, knowledge about safety measures and adaptive techniques. A high risk of falling remained.
Discussion:
It is suggested a more prolonged follow-up to evaluate the gains obtained in the long term and the search for factors that may contribute to the reduction of the risk of falling.
Conclusion:
The intervention of the Specialist Nurse in Rehabilitation Nursing in the person with a fracture of the upper extremity of the femur is fundamental for restoring their autonomy and functional capacity.
