Strength Training After Hip Fracture Surgery
Summary
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.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Training Support
Financial support for training including both student stipends and loans and training grants to institutions.
Inservice Training
On the job training programs for personnel carried out within an institution or agency. It includes orientation programs.
Area Health Education Centers
Education centers authorized by the Comprehensive Health Manpower Training Act, 1971, for the training of health personnel in areas where health needs are the greatest. May be used for centers other than those established by the United States act.
Child Rearing
The training or bringing-up of children by parents or parent-substitutes. It is used also for child rearing practices in different societies, at different economic levels, in different ethnic groups, etc. It differs from PARENTING in that in child rearing the emphasis is on the act of training or bringing up the child and the interaction between the parent and child, while parenting emphasizes the responsibility and qualities of exemplary behavior of the parent.
Resistance Training
A type of strength-building exercise program that requires the body muscle to exert a force against some form of resistance, such as weight, stretch bands, water, or immovable objects. Resistance exercise is a combination of static and dynamic contractions involving shortening and lengthening of skeletal muscles.
