  • 2\. Inability to walk or use walking aids
  • 3\. Presentation of history of spinal fracture
  • 4\. Presentation of an arthritic disease
  • 5\. Presentation of serious medical conditions that would limit participation in the measurement or exercise program (including uncontrolled hypertension, cardiopulmonary disorder, vestibular disorder, neurologic disorder, or musculoskeletal disorder)
