In this study the aim is to continue and progress the functional training started during hospital stay, such as training in walking and further on repetitive sit-to-stands, as part of the daily habitual routine during short-term stays in the nursing homes. This type of functional training may be motivational and easily recognizable to the patients, and it can also be carried out by the nursing staff with only initial guiding from a physiotherapist. There is lack of knowledge on the effect of additional functional training, incorporated as part of the habitual daily routine during short-term stays, on the patients' immediate and long term recovery of physical functioning and activity level after hip fracture, compared to usual care alone.
