This case report describes a patient with femoral neck fracture and body instability in the forward direction at the end of the stance phase during walking. Physical therapy for this patient included both muscle strength training of the hip extensor muscles and weight-transfer exercises with reaching movements using one upper limb while holding a T-cane. With physical therapy, weight transfer in the forward direction during the stance phase accompanied hip extension. Moreover, forward body instability at the end of the stance phase disappeared and walking ability improved. The effects of physical therapy for this patient are discussed with reference to improvements in joint angle values.
