Exercise to improve functional outcomes in people with Osteoporosis - Physio Article Summary

Physiotherapist, Alex Barnett, summarises the article, 'Exercise to improve functional outcomes in persons with osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis’, published in Osteoporosis International in 2018. 📚 Over 40% of women and 20% of men with osteoporosis are likely to sustain an osteoporotic fracture during their lifespan. 💪 Although bone loss worsens with age, osteoporosis has an independent effect on limitations and restrictions (falls and quality of life) compared to those without osteoporosis. 🏃🏽‍♀️ The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of exercise interventions to improve functional outcomes in persons with osteoporosis. 🚶🏻‍♀️ The evidence suggests various exercise modalities (strength, power, balance and aerobic fitness) promote functional outcomes in people with osteoporosis. 🤗 Generally, adherence rates were higher in clinic-based programs, supervised by the physiotherapist, and can ensure patient safety with exercise. 👍🏼  Health conditions and special needs of individuals dictate exercise type, intensity, and velocity of movement.
