Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized, observer-blinded trial tested the hypothesis that nutritional supplementation with muscle-target nutritional supplementation would increase the efficacy of a physical rehabilitation program in old adults with femur fracture treated with surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Muscle-target nutritional supplementation has been domonstrated to enhance the recovery of muscle mass and increase the efficacy of a rehabilitation program in patients suffering from sarcopenia. Femure fracture is responsible for increased immobilization resulting in loss of muscle mass which may be further emphasized by surgical stress. This randomized, observer-blinded trial tested the hypothesis that nutritional supplementation with muscle-target nutritional supplementation would increase the efficacy of a physical rehabilitation program in old adults with femur fracture treated with surgery. ;
