Feasibility RCT of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation; an Intervention to Maintain and Improve neuroMuscular Function During Periods of Immobility

In this study, the investigators will use feasibility RCT design to determine whether it is justifiable to conduct a large-scale clinical trial of neuromuscular electrical stimulation with or without additional protein supplementation in hospitalised patients who are temporarily immobilised following a fragility fracture. Muscle thickness, muscle strength, patients' mobility and self-care will be assessed at baseline and after 6-wk trial duration or until patients discharged from hospital. Outcomes will include participants' recruitment rate, tolerability and accessibility and their characteristics.
