Target number of participants 42 per group (total: 84)
Interventions Intervention group:
Individually tailored physical rehabilitation program aiming to restore mobility (ProMo). The purpose of the intervention is to restore mobility after hip fracture. The one year intervention starts within one month (at least six weeks after discharged from the health care centre. ProMo is a multicomponent rehabilitation protocol consisting of individual progressive home exercise program and counselling/management sessions for physical activity promotion and pain and fear of falling management. Usage and satisfaction with assistive devices for walking will also be discussed.

Control group:
Usual care. The control group is instructed to follow the guidelines provided by the hospital and healt care centre.

The total duration of the intervention is 12 months. The subjects (both intervention and control groups) will be followed up for 12 months after the intervention.
Primary outcome measure(s) The short term primary outcome (at 3 and 6 months) is Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) including habitual walking speed, chair rise and balance tests. One year primary outcome will be mobility limitation and disability.
Secondary outcome measure(s) Measured at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months:
1. Maximal and habitual walking speed over 10 metres
2. Isometric muscle strength for knee extension and leg extension power, assessed from both sides
3. Functional balance, assessed by Berg Balance Scale
4. Fear of falling, assessed by Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale
5. Pain, assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and questionnaire
6. Functional capacity, assessed by validated questionnaire
7. Level of physical activity, assessed by a questionnaire
8. Information concerning use of formal and informal care
9. Bone density and geometry measured for lower leg
10. Depressive mood (Beck Depression Inventory [BDI])

Measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months:
11. Bone density and geometry measured for arm

Measured at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months and 24 months (12 month follow-up):
12. Form of dwelling, collected by a questionnaire and health and social service registers
