Debi, you can use fdesign.highpass and design() to design your filter.

h = fdesign.highpass('Fst,Fp,Ast,Ap',20,25,60,1,2000);
d = design(h,'butter');
% visualize your filter
fvtool(d)

Removes frequencies below 20 hertz.

Do you need to implement zero-phase filtering? If not, you can implement your filter as:

output = filter(d,input);
