Hip flexion, extension, and abduction performed while standing are beneficial for the involved leg. They may be alternated bilaterally, depending on the patient's weight-bearing restrictions. <br>With a status of weight bearing as toler-ated (WBAT), the patient may attempt balancing exercises on the involved leg.<br>The PT should address chronic defcits in flexibility,strength, and balance that may have precipitated the patient's injury. The postsurgical program should focus on restoring proximal hip strength.<br>The integrity of the abductors is especially compromised by ORIF surgeries and often the hip abductors were weak before the injury that precipitated the surgery. It may be necessary to stretch chronically flexed hip and trunk muscles before the abductors can be in a position to fire effectively.
