Conditions

Osteoporosis

Brief summary

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility and increased fracture likelihood as a result of deterioration of the bone tissue microstructure.One of the important conditions determining the fracture risk in osteoporosis patients is fall. Balance exercises are perform to reduce the risk of falling.Virtual reality games are used in balance studies in many rehabilitation areas. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of virtual reality exercises on balance.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Static balance index4th weekPostural balance was measured using the Biodex Balance System (BBS) (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY), a movable balance platform that provides up to 20 of surface tilt in a 360 range of motion. The platform is interfaced with computer software (Biodex, Version 3.1, Biodex Medical Systems) that enables the device to serve as an objective assessment of balance
