Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to improve symptoms of Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) and Osteoporosis (OP) by implementing an evidence-based Baduanjin exercise to reduce pain and increase muscle strength and quality of life in Chinese patients. This study will provide new sights of exercise of elderly patients with LDH and OP for elderly patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants in the control group will continue with their conventional post surgery treatment as follows: comprehensive post-operative care and educational handouts that include guidelines for lumbar and back exercises to improve recovery and promote spinal health. In addition, participants will receive three interactive Q\&A sessions before discharge (pre-operation, post-operation, and on the day of discharge). During these sessions, patients can discuss their concerns and ask questions about their recovery.

Participants in the experimental group will continue to receive their conventional post surgery treatment in addition to BDJ as follows: Individual session training (admission to week 1 post-surgery), no training week 2, Group session I (week 3 and 4), Group session 2 (week 5-12) and perform independent exercises during which participants will have to keep an exercise diary (week 13-24).

Data collection will be conducted through in-person visits at baseline and Week 1, followed by phone calls at Week 12 and Week 24.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

Participants will receive conventional (usual) treatment: continue with their original treatment, medication, and diet habits. After spinal surgery, two nurses trained according to this study protocol will teach participants standard guidance for lumbar and back exercises, which will include exercise suggestions and health education.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

BDJ with resistance training

BDJ exercise combined with resistance training and conventional (usual) treatment in the experimental group. Two nurses will provide training to ensure that participants can perform the movements skillfully and coherently.
