Abstract: Introduction: The aging of the population increases the prevalence of falls, having a negative impact on the life of the person and their family. The Rehabilitation Nurse Specialist draws up functional motor re-education plans for people with femoral fractures who have undergone surgery, with the aim of improving functional independence and quality of life. The aim of this case report is to describe the benefits of an FMR rehabilitation program for a person undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty at home. Case Report: Clinical case report in accordance with Equator's CAse REport guidelines. The information was collected through information systems and interviews, enabling a diagnostic assessment to be carried out and a care plan to be defined, in accordance with the available tools. After implementing a functional motor re-education plan, which included exercises, balance and gait training, significant gains were seen in muscle strength, body balance and the ability to walk with a walking aid, over the course of a month of intervention in a home setting. Conclusion: The intervention of the Rehabilitation Nurse Specialist in the person undergoing hip hermiarthroplasty proved to be essential for the recovery of independence and functional capacity, as well as for the promotion of quality of life.
