Postural Stability in Older Adults with a Distal Radial Fracture
Conclusions:
Older adults who sustain low-energy distal radial fractures demonstrate impaired postural stability compared with individuals of a similar age who have not sustained such fractures. Following a distal radial fracture, these patients may benefit from interventions to improve postural stability.
Level of Evidence:
Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
