Sarcopenia And Balance In Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

NCT ID: NCT03832088

Last Updated: 2019-02-21

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 53 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2018-08-01
• Study Completion Date: 2019-03-31

Brief Summary

The study was performed on 53 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients who presented to our osteoporosis outpatient clinic. Following written informed consent, patients were evaluated for sarcopenia according to the sarcopenia algorithm proposed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). Algorithm parameters were walking speed, muscle strength and muscle mass measurements. We used Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) for evaluation of walking speed, Jamar Hand Dynamometer for muscle strength assessment, and calf circumference for muscle mass measurement. Balances of the patients were evaluated with Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and functional skills were evaluated with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). Other clinical parameters (age, body mass index (BMI), 25OHvitD level, menopause age, fall within the last year, fracture history, history of fracture in mother) were questioned.

Study Groups

postmenopausal osteoporosis

Postmenopausal osteoporotic patients evaluated for sarcopenia and balance disorders

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Berg Balance Scale

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Berg Balance Scale performed for balance disorder

Timed Up and Go Test

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Timed Up and Go Test for walking speed

Jamar hand dynamometer

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Jamar hand dynamometer for grip strength which correlates with muscle strength of patient

Calf circumference

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Calf circumference for muscle mass evaluation. Calf circumference is an anthropometric measurement which correlates with muscle mass.
