The Effect of Progressive Balance Exercise on Postural Sway - a 4 Week Randomized Controlled Trial

Region Västerbotten·interventional·Posted Jul 24, 2017·Updated Sep 19, 2017

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Exercise for Balance; Distorted and Fall. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Today most fracture prevention measures targets the bone and osteoporosis. However, only about 20% of individuals with fractures have osteoporosis and at least 90% of all fractures are caused by a fall. Therefore, the present project builds on previous findings from our group identifying postural sway as an important risk factor for falls and aims to intervene against this risk factor in a randomized controlled trial targeting subjects at the highest risk for falls.
