Does the association of therapeutic exercise and supplementation with sucrosomial magnesium improve posture and balance and prevent the risk of new falls?

Abstract

Background Fracture of the proximal femur is the most feared complication of osteoporosis. Given the numerous physiological functions that magnesium performs in our body, in the literature there is a correlation between osteoporosis and low serum levels of magnesium. Aim Evaluate the incidence of hypomagnesemia in patients with lateral fragility fracture of the proximal femur, the possible correlation between serum magnesium levels and fractures, and the effectiveness of supplementing Sucrosomial® magnesium associated with therapeutic exercise on the outcome of these patients. Methods We divided the study into two parts. In the first part, we assessed the preoperative incidence of hypomagnesemia in patients using a blood test. In the second part, patients with hypomagnesemia were divided, in the post-operative period, into two groups, who received, respectively, only therapeutic exercise or oral supplementation with sucrosomial magnesium associated with therapeutic exercise. Results Half of the patients with fragility femoral fracture had hypomagnesemia, with a higher incidence of the subclinical form. From the comparison between the two groups, the T1 treatment group showed a significant improvement in blood levels of magnesium (2.11 ± 0.15 vs. 1.94 ± 0.11; p < 0.05), on the NRS scale (5.7 ± 0.81 vs. 6.6 ± 1.18; p < 0.05), the Tinetti scale (17.3 ± 1.15 vs. 15.2 ± 2.98; p < 0.05) and the SarQoL questionnaire (47.3 ± 5.21 vs. 44.9 ± 5.54; p < 0.05). Conclusions More attention would be needed in the diagnosis and correction of subclinical hypomagnesemia and not just the simple and clinically evident one, including hypomagnesemia among the modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis.

Influence of Malnutrition on Outcome after Hip Fractures in Older Patients

“…Even subclinical deficits of nutrients can have an impact on the outcome if supplemented. Additionally, the connection between malnutrition and the development of osteoporosis is well described [ 9 ]. Due to the demographic changes, the population gets older and, therefore, the prevalence of HF in this special group will continuously grow [ 10 ].…”

Design and application of personalized exercise prescription for primary osteoporosis

“…Previous studies have shown that regular exercise can effectively enhance BMD and reduce the incidence of osteoporosis (OP) in middle-aged and elderly people with a high safety profile. [4,5] The development of an accurate and appropriate exercise prescription has been of great interest to medical staff and patients as a relatively economical, efficient, and safe treatment method in the clinical treatment of POP.

The correlation between the serum LDL-C/Apo B ratio and lumbar bone mineral density in young adults

“…It shows association with high risk of complications and mortality [ 1 , 2 ], and exerts a serious impact on its socioeconomic burden. Therefore, special attention should be paid to modifiable risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, decreased body mass index, physical inactivity and poor nutrition [ 3 ]. In the past, the management for cases showing the above characteristics has emphasized the identification of secondary factors that lead to decreased bone mass and the treatment of fractures by pain control and orthopedic procedures [ 4 ].…”
