Abstract

<p>This case report describes a patient with a left trochanteric femoral fracture with reduced walking ability. The patient's trunk tilted toward the left in the left-loading response phase during walking. The patient underwent physical therapy including exercises such as kicking a ball forward with the right foot from a walk-standing position, as well as range-of-motion and muscle-strengthening exercises. After 4 weeks of physical therapy, the patient was able to walk with stability at a moderate speed. As she also had senile depression, the recreational aspect of the exercises was effective for continuation of the therapy.</p>
