Effectiveness of balance training programme in reducing the frequency of falling in established osteoporotic women: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract: The Balance Training Programme significantly improved the balance parameters and reduced the number of falls in postmenopausal women who have already had at least one fracture in the past.

“…These results are confirmed by research by Miko, Szerb, Szerb, and Poor [24] in Hungary. Twelve months of balance exercise with a duration of 3 times a week for 30 minutes improves older people body balance (p = 0.005; TUGT value from 8.89 seconds to 6.74 seconds).…”

“…14 Since PA has been related to increased BMD, 15 osteoporosis treatment should involve lifestyle changes, including regular PA, which is associated with better health and a reduced rate of falls, particularly among the elderly. 6 In this study, the level of PA was assessed by IPAQ in the osteoporosis and osteopenia groups, which were then compared with the NBD group. Most of the participants in the OP group were sedentary, while higher rates of very active women were observed in the NBD and osteopenia groups.…”

“…Regular physical activity (PA) can prevent bone mass loss, 4,5 and some types of physical exercises improve muscle strength and balance, thereby reducing the frequency of falls and subsequent fractures, especially among the elderly. 6 Nonetheless, the prevalence of physical inactivity is highest precisely in women and in elderly individuals, 7 which are at an increased risk for OP. In fact, the level of PA is one of the most prevalent indicators of frailty, which leads to falls, fractures, hospitalization, disabilities and death.…”

“…Women in the postmenopausal period undergo hormonal changes that contribute to a number of negative health factors, such as reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) (1) , loss of muscular strength (2) , and lower postural balance (3) . These variables, when altered, decrease the functional status and constitute a significant risk factor for an increase in the incidence of falls and a consequent risk of fractures (4) , which leads in some cases to morbidity or even mortality (5,6) .…”
