Predictors of Falls in Women With and Without Osteoporosis.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the occurrence of falls and muscle strength, flexibility, and balance in postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis. A total of 133 women with and 133 without osteoporosis, aged 60 years old or greater, were included in the study. Women were interviewed about clinical and [...]
The Effects of Treadmill Exercise Training on Hip Bone Density and Tibial Bone Geometry in Stroke Survivors: A Pilot Study
Individuals with stroke often sustain bone loss on the hemiparetic side and are prone to fragility fractures. Exercise training may be a viable way to promote bone mineral density (BMD) and geometry in this population. This was a pilot study to evaluate the effects of a 6-month treadmill exercise program on hip BMD and tibial [...]
Effects of exercise programmes on quality of life in osteoporotic and osteopenic postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of exercise therapy on quality of life in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Four randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria, involving a total of 256 participants. Results revealed that the exercise groups showed significant improvements in the domains of physical function, pain, role [...]
The effect of group exercise on postmenopausal osteoporosis and osteopenia
This study investigated the effects of group exercise on bone mineral density (BMD), pain, and quality of life in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and osteopenia. The study included 16 osteoporotic and 17 osteopenic postmenopausal women. Subjects having orthopedic, neurological, respiratory, vascular, metabolic, or mental problems were excluded. Each group received the same group exercise program [...]
[Effects of a combined weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing ( warm water) exercise program on bone mass and quality in postmenopausal women with low bone-mineral density]
Tolomio S, Lalli A, Travain G, Zaccaria M The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combined weight- and non weight-bearing (water) exercise program on bone mass and quality in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density. 125 post-menopausal women with osteopenia/osteoporosis underwent a bone mass and bone tissue quality evaluation.
