Exercise to improve muscle and reduce falls in thyroid disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special exercise program can help older women with thyroid disease improve muscle strength, quality of life, and reduce falls. You would do supervised rhythm-based multitask exercises (like stepping and moving to music) several times a week.
