Our results suggest that FIRM was effective for short-term functional recovery in older patients with or without sarcopenia who have suffered fragility hip fracture. Considering sarcopenia, which has a detrimental effect on functional outcomes after rehabilitation, the impact of sarcopenia on FIRM should be investigated further over a longer period of time.
