Maximal Strength Training Following Hip Fracture Surgery: Impact on Muscle Mass, Balance, Walking Efficiency and Bone Density

One group will receive today's standard rehabilitation program following hip fracture surgery. The intervention group will have maximal strength training incorporated in their program. It consists of 3 training sessions per week for 8 weeks, where 4-5 repetitions over 4 sets for leg press and abduction resistance exercise at ~85% of maximal strength is carried out. Muscle strength, balance and bone density will be compared between the groups following the 8-week rehabilitation period. The feasibility of the intervention for the patient group will be evaluated based on compliance with training program and possible adverse events related to the operated hip.
