Brief Summary:
in Pakistan 9.9 million people are osteoporotic and 7.2 million amongst them are women. Globally after every 3 seconds there is occurrence of fragility fracture.In Pakistan females carries different risk factors based on distinct culture, environment, diet and lifestyle. So there is dire need to conduct more high quality clinical trials at National level in order to establish strong evidence in favor of low cost but highly effective exercise protocols for such a significant public health issue.
Detailed Description:
In postmenopausal age, women bones get weak and easily fracture after 50years. In Pakistan every other female is silently suffering from this disease leading to bone, joint pain and disability. This project is innovatively designed first time in Pakistan to target weak bones of women with high intensity, progressive exercise training. The objectives of this study are to determine the effects of a high intensity multi-modal exercise training on bone mineral density and functional performance in postmenopausal women.
After initial screening based on history, subjective fracture risk calculations and subjective osteoporosis screening. Females fulfilling criteria and willing to participate in exercise trial will be recruited in the study. At baseline, DEXA scan will be done for Femoral and lumbar bone density. All performance based testing for functional performance outcome measures would be done at baseline, after 3 months \& after 6 months. Patient will be called twice a week for 8months and DEXA will be repeated after 8months of training. It is hypothesized that supervised exercise training will improve bone mineral density and functional performance in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.
