In Japan, the number of patients with hip fracture has been increasing year by year with a drastic increase in the number of ages. Hip fractures are not only the more significant osteoporotic fracture, but make activity in daily life (ADL) , health outcome, and quality of life (QOL) more difficult. To rehabilitate patients with hip fracture through a multidisciplinary approach is important in the early phases of fracture incidents in order to keep their ADL and QOL at a high level.
