Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Patients aged 75 years and older, hospitalized after hip fracture surgery (osteosynthesis or arthroplasty), fluent in French, with or without cognitive impairment (caregiver input allowed), and affiliated with health insurance.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not complete the questionnaire or have severe cognitive impairment without caregiver support may not derive directly observable benefits.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to validate the French translation of the New Mobility Score (NMS) in older adults who have undergone hip fracture surgery. It will assess the tool’s reliability between different raters and its ease of use in a hospital setting. Participants are 75 years or older, fluent in French, with pertrochanteric or femoral neck fractures, and able to complete questionnaires. The study focuses on implementing a quick functional assessment to support clinical practice and research in aging and mobility outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If valid, the French NMS could provide a simple, reliable way to quickly assess mobility and guide care planning after hip fracture.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research supports the NMS in predicting outcomes, but the French version requires formal validation to confirm reliability and applicability in this population.
