Effect of low appendicular lean mass, grip strength, and gait speed on the functional outcome after surgery for distal radius fractures
Abstract
Patients with low appendicular lean mass plus slow gait speed or weak grip strength are at risk for poor functional recovery after surgery for distal radius fracture, even when they have similar radiologic outcomes. Loss of skeletal muscle mass and consequent loss in muscle function associate with aging, and this condition negatively impacts the activities of daily living and increases elderly individuals’ frailty to falls. Thus, patients with...
