In this study, the investigators will use feasibility RCT design to determine whether it is justifiable to conduct a large-scale clinical trial of neuromuscular electrical stimulation with or without additional protein supplementation in hospitalised patients who are temporarily immobilised following a fragility fracture. Muscle thickness, muscle strength, patients\' mobility and self-care will be assessed at baseline and after 6-wk trial duration or until patients discharged from hospital. Outcomes will include participants\' recruitment rate, tolerability and accessibility and their characteristics.
