Identifying the factors related to falls occurring within this population is essential for the development of effective regimes for fall prevention. Studies have shown that muscle quality and good posture alignments are critical for balance control in older adults.People are diagnosed with osteoporosis often combining with muscles weakness, and increased spine kyphosis leading vertebral fractures and poor balance control, even falls. Therefore, improving muscle quality, strengthening weak muscles and correcting postural alignment are essential elements for fracture and fall prevention in older adults with osteoporosis. The long-term objectives of this work are to prevent fracture and fall in older adults with osteoporosis by improving the function of degenerative muscles. Translational research of this nature will contribute much needed information regarding the critical factors of balance control in older adults with osteoporosis, as well as test clinical innovations of the exercise training to improve the long-term prognosis of osteoporosis in this vulnerable population. The unique contribution of the proposed research lies in the integration of an explicit physical exam and biomechanical approach to a relevant clinical problem within a translational model. Findings from the proposed research will provide a new paradigm of treatment approaches for balance control and will reduce risk of falling and fracture.老人物理治療平衡elderlyphysical therapybalanceFracture and fall prevention in elderly with osteoporosis
