Exercise program to improve balance and prevent falls in osteoporosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a 12-week physiotherapy exercise program designed to improve balance and posture, which may help reduce the risk of falls in people with osteoporosis. If you join, you will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a comparison group, and your progress will be tracked.
