Not Applicable

• Conditions: Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal; Balance; Distorted
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Berg Balance Scale; Diagnostic Test: Timed Up and Go Test; Diagnostic Test: Korebalance Balance System

• Registration Number: NCT03832075
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Medeniyet University

Brief Summary

In postmenopausal osteoporosis patients, the balance is impaired. Equilibrium is evaluated with various test and balance systems. This study aims evaluation of the patients with the Korebalance Balance System and balance tests and investigation the validity of the Korebalance Balance System.

Detailed Description

53 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients were evaluated with balance tests (Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)) and Korebalance Balance System. The Korebalance Balance System is a balance assessment and exercise system. The higher the score, the greater the deterioration in the balance. The results of static and dynamic balance evaluation are recorded as score values. In this study, investigators compared Korebalance Balance System, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests and other demographic and clinical parameters (age, body mass index (BMI), 25OHvitD level, menopause age, fall within the last 1 year, fracture history, history of fracture in mother).
