Abstract

Context

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes the bones to become less mineralized and brittle. Fractures may result from bone thinning, particularly in the wrist, hip, and spine.

Aim

The goal of the current study was to contrast the effects of resistance training and agility training on individuals with osteoporosis' risk of falling.

Settings

and Design: A comparative study was conducted at the Venus Institute of Physiotherapy Outpatient department.

Subjects

and Methods: 45 patients with osteoporosis were enrolled in the trial and randomly split into two groups. For eight weeks, or three sessions per week, Group A received resistance training, and Group B received agility training. Both the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used to assess fall risk prior to and during therapy.

Statistical Evaluation t-test analysis was performed using the Windows version 20 of the SPSS program. We estimated the mean and standard deviation. Statistical significance was set at P 0.05.

Result

A total of 40 participants—20 from Group A and 20 from Group B—completed the study. Both groups showed a statistically significant decrease in fall risk for the TUG test (P0.05) and BBS score (P0.05). Compared to the agility training group, resistance training reduced the risk of falling more.

Conclusions

According to the study, an 8-week resistance training program reduces the chance of falling more effectively than an agility training program.

抗阻和敏捷训练对骨质疏松症患者跌倒风险的影响——一项比较研究

骨质疏松症是一种骨骼疾病，它会导致骨骼的矿化程度降低，变得脆弱。骨折可由骨变薄引起，尤其是手腕、髋部和脊柱。目的：本研究的目的是对比抗阻训练和敏捷训练对骨质疏松症患者跌倒风险的影响。环境和设计：在维纳斯物理治疗研究所门诊部进行了一项比较研究。对象与方法：45例骨质疏松症患者入组，随机分为两组。在八周的时间里，A组接受阻力训练，B组接受敏捷性训练。在治疗前和治疗过程中，使用了计时起走测试（TUG）和伯格平衡量表（BBS）来评估跌倒风险。采用SPSS软件Windows version 20进行t检验分析。我们估计了平均值和标准差。差异有统计学意义，P < 0.05。结果A组20人，b组20人，共40人完成研究。两组患者在TUG测试（P0.05）和BBS评分（P0.05）上的跌倒风险均有统计学意义的降低。与敏捷训练组相比，阻力训练组更能降低跌倒的风险。根据这项研究，一个8周的阻力训练计划比一个敏捷训练计划更有效地减少跌倒的机会。
