Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Timepoint: before intervention and 6 months after intervention (immidiately after termination of treatment). Method of measurement: using Dual Energy X-ray Absorbtiometry (DEXA) with measurment of T-score.;Time up & go (TUG). Timepoint: before intervention and 6 months after intervention (immidiately after termination of treatment). Method of measurement: using chronometer this six meter distance is measured by seconds.;Fall risk. Timepoint: before intervention and 6 months after intervention (immidiately after termination of treatment). Method of measurement: using Biodex balance training is measured and because it is a relative value,it has not special unit.;Postural Stability. Timepoint: before intervention and 6 months after intervention (immidiately after termination of treatment). Method of measurement: using Biodex balance training is measured and because it is a relative value,it has not special unit.;Muscle Strength. Timepoint: before intervention and 6 months after intervention (immidiately after termination of treatment). Method of measurement: It is evaluated via manual muscle testing(MMT) in physical examination.This relative indicator is measured between 1/5 to 5/5. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Quality of life. Timepoint: before intervention and 6 months after intervention (Immediately after treatment). Method of measurement: This variable is measured using SF36 Questionnaire with scoring between 0 to 100.;Body Mass Index (BMI). Timepoint: before intervention and 6 months after intervention (Immediately after treatment).
