Osteoporosis and Fall Prevention High Risk Population Intervention and Follow up in the Metropolitan Area

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Fracture; Osteoporosis
• Interventions: Behavioral: Integrated care (IC); Behavioral: Home care (HC); Behavioral: Lower extremity exercise (LEE)

• Registration Number: NCT02608749
• Lead Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital

Brief Summary

BACKGROUND: The deterioration of musculoskeletal system imposes significant impact on physical activity in older adults.

METHODS: This was a randomized, parallel-group, prospective study. All participants received education program including home-based exercise. The IC group consisted of different modalities of exercise while the LEE group performed machine-based exercise. Body composition, muscle strength, and physical performance were measured at their baseline and 3 months follow-up.
