Osteoporosis (OP) is a skeleton systemic disease characterized by a reduced bone mass and deterioration of micro-architecture. OP is often accompanied by an increased risk of fall and consequently a high risk of fracture. Since postural control and proprioception are two of the most significant factors in falls and injury prevention, exercise training, including specific balance and proprioceptive exercises, could be the keys to reducing the risk of fall and fractures. This study was aimed at assessing proprioception and postural control, using Delos Postural Proprioceptive System (DPPS; Delos, Turin, Italy), in persons with osteoporosis, before and after an exercise training.

Abstract

Osteoporosis (OP) is a skeleton systemic disease characterized by a reduced bone mass and deterioration of micro-architecture. OP is often accompanied by an increased risk of fall and consequently a high risk of fracture. Since postural control and proprioception are two of the most significant factors in falls and injury prevention, exercise training, including specific balance and proprioceptive exercises, could be the keys to reducing the risk of fall and fractures. This study was aimed at assessing proprioception and postural control, using Delos Postural Proprioceptive System (DPPS; Delos, Turin, Italy), in persons with osteoporosis, before and after an exercise training.
