INTERVENTION: Participants will be divided into 2 groups; control group and research group. 1. The control group will follow the classic physiotherapeutic protocol 2. The research group will follow the modified physiotherapeutic protocol CONDITION: Rehabilitation protocols in hip‐fracture patients. ; Musculoskeletal Diseases PRIMARY OUTCOME: Difference in postoperative functional status according to strengthening of hip abductor muscles. This is measured 60 days (3 months) after surgery in Newton (N) with a reliable electronic dynamometer. SECONDARY OUTCOME: 1. At the day of hospital admission evaluation of the prefracture functional status using self‐reported measure. ; 2. Evaluation of postoperative hip abductor muscles strength and functional status using both self‐reported (using a questionnaire) and physical performance (Timed Up & Go Test) measures and an objective measure of abductors muscles strength using an electronic dynamometer(3rd and 6th month after surgery) INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Age 70?85 years 2.All participants must be ambulatory and must not have undergone any prior orthopaedic surgery in the fractured or contralateral hip 3.
