Efficiency of back muscles training and balance therapy in rehabilitation of patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Medical rehabilitation of patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (VF) remains an insufficiently developed topic and requires additional research. Aim of the study was to assess the efficiency of back muscles training and balance therapy in rehabilitation of patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Prospective, interventional, open-label, controlled study in two parallel groups, performed in inpatient department settings at "National Medical Research Center of Rehabilitation and Balneology" during 2018.

Balance and muscle strength tests in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures to develop tailored rehabilitation programs.

Authors perform a cross-sectional study of functional abilities of the patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (VFs). Trunk muscle isometric strength and postural balance impairments were estimated. The development of osteoporotic VFs is associated with a significant decrease in strength of all the body muscles, especially the deep spinal stabilization system, i.
