History of Changes

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of intensive strength training of the the fractured leg in patients with hip fracture, during admittance in an acute orthopedic ward. The study hypothesis is that the training will improve function and reduce the strength loss in the fractured leg in comparison with the non-fractured leg.
