简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of the increase in the physical activity level of women at risk for osteoporosis in the post-menopausal period on the physical fitness, functional fitness age and quality of life. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Does the increase in the level of physical activity positively affect the physical fitness parameters (strength, endurance, balance, agility and flexibility), functional fitness ages and quality of life of post-menopausal women with moderate to high osteoporosis risk?
Participants in the intervention group were given the Otago Exercise Program, which will last 3 days a week and an average of 30 minutes per day for 12 weeks. The exercises were done one-by-one with a physiotherapist. No program were applied to the participants in the control group, and they were asked to continue their daily living activities in the same way.
Researchers will compare two groups to see if there is a difference in effects of Otogo Exercise Program on physical fitness, functional fitness age, and quality of life.
详细描述
The osteoporosis risks of the participants were calculated according to the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Women (OST). Women have medium and high risk were included in the study.
Otago Exercise Program includes strengthening exercises consisting of knee extension, knee flexion, hip abduction, ankle dorsi flexion, and 12 balance exercises consisting of plantar flexion and squatting, walking backward, walking and rolling back, sideways walking, tandem stance, tandem gait, standing on one leg, heels walking on toes, walking on tiptoe, sitting and standing, climbing and descending stairs, and backward tandem walking.
• In addition, moderate-intensity walking exercise for 30 minutes a day, 2 days a week, was recommended to the patients in experimental group.

结局指标
主要结局
Lower Extremity Strength
时间窗: The first measurement was made just before the start of the treatment, and the second measurement was made just after the end of the treatment.
Lower extremity strength will be evaluated with the 30-second sit-stand test included in the ''Senior Fitness Test'', which is a physical fitness assessment tool.
Agility
时间窗: The first measurement was made just before the start of the treatment, and the second measurement was made just after the end of the treatment.
Agility will be evaluated with the stand-up and walk test included in the ''Senior Fitness Test'', which is a physical fitness evaluation tool.
Upper Extremity Strength
时间窗: The first measurement was made just before the start of the treatment, and the second measurement was made just after the end of the treatment.
Upper extremity strength will be evaluated with the 30-second elbow bend test included in the ''Senior Fitness Test'', which is a physical fitness evaluation tool.
Quality of Life of Individual
时间窗: The first measurement was made just before the start of the treatment, and the second measurement was made just after the end of the treatment.
Quality of Life was tested with the ''Quality of Life for Osteoporosis Questionnaire''. The scale consists of 41 questions. There are 5 subscales: pain (5 items), physical function (17 items), social activity (7 items), general health assessment (3 items) and mental function (9 items). For each subgroup and total result in the scale, 0 points indicate the best health status, while higher scores indicate poor quality of life.
Aerobic Endurance
时间窗: The first measurement was made just before the start of the treatment, and the second measurement was made just after the end of the treatment.
Aerobic endurance will be evaluated with the 2-minute walking test included in the ''Senior Fitness Test'', which is a physical fitness evaluation tool.
Upper Extremity Flexibility
时间窗: The first measurement was made just before the start of the treatment, and the second measurement was made just after the end of the treatment.
Upper extremity flexibility will be evaluated with the sit-reach test and back scratching test included in the ''Senior Fitness Test'', which is a physical fitness evaluation tool.
次要结局
- Dynamic Balance(The first measurement was made just before the start of the treatment, and the second measurement was made just after the end of the treatment.)
