Table 2 Fall history and physical tests

	Control	Fracture	p-value
	(n = 28)	(n = 27)	p-value
The experience of fall in the past year	0 (0%)	5 (18.5%)	0.017^b
(The number of falls)		(Once:2, twice:2, three times:1)
The experience of stumbling	17 (60.7%)	17 (63.0%)	0.86^b
Fear for falling	16 (57.1%)	9 (33.3%)	0.076^b
Hand grip strength (kg) (mean, SD)	23.3 (3.4)	18.6 (4.1)	< 0.001^a
TUG test (s) (mean, SD)
Normal speed	8.07 (1.33)	8.08 (1.23)	0.97^a
Faster speed	6.23 (0.89)	6.59 (1.12)	0.19^a

p-values < 0.05 are considered significant
^aValues are presented as means and standard deviations (SD). Independent Student’s t test was used to compare the groups
^bValues are presented as the number of patients and percentages, and chi-squared test was used for analysis between the groups. TUG test, Timed Up and Go test
