Physical Functions and Comorbidity Affecting Collapse at 4 or More Weeks after Admission in Patients with Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Study Design: A prospective cohort study.

Purpose: This study aimed to reveal physical functions and comorbidity affecting collapse at ≥4 weeks after hospital admission of patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture.

Overview Of Literature: Only a few studies have investigated the influence of physical function and activity on collapse in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Factors Affecting Quality of Life at Discharge among Patients with Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify factors, including physical functions and activities that affect quality of life (QOL) at discharge among patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Methods: Patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures were included in our prospective cohort study. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of QOL at discharge using two models: model 1, basic medical information and physical functions at admission, and model 2, basic medical information, physical function, and activity after 4 weeks of admission.

Association between movement control during one-leg standing and femoral BMD in patients with hip fractures.

Introduction: Prior studies have focused only on the temporal component of one-leg standing, no reports have examined the relationship between the qualitative components of one-leg standing and femoral BMD. Thus, this study investigated whether quality (i.e.

Validity of simplified, calibration-less exercise intensity measurement using resting heart rate during sleep: a method-comparison study with respiratory gas analysis.

Background: The recent development of wearable devices has enabled easy and continuous measurement of heart rate (HR). Exercise intensity can be calculated from HR with indices such as percent HR reserve (%HRR); however, this requires an accurate measurement of resting HR, which can be time-consuming. The use of HR during sleep may be a substitute that considers the calibration-less measurement of %HRR.
