WBV: POSSIBILE IMPIEGO PER L'OSTEOPOROSI? REVIEW

Scopo della review è quello di affermare che le vibrazioni rappresentano uncampo nuovo e da esplorare.Esse potrebbero essere una via alternativa nei soggetti anziani ed osteoporotici, essendo un esercizio dolce, sicuro, e facile da apprendere. Tuttatvia non sono stati ancora deliniati nè protocolli efficaci ed univoci nè il più valido range di ampiezza e frequenza vibratoria che può essere applicata in manoera sicura elicitando una significativa risposta di sintonizzazione. Riteniamo che è importante valutare attentamente i possibili effetti e le reazioni avverse all'esposizione a lungo termine alle vibrazioni su giovani e adulti sani prima di sottoporli a soggetti anziani e osteoporotici.

Vertebral fractures, function and cognitive status in osteoporotic hip fractured women: The FOCUS study

Introduction Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural modifications of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in fragility fractures. Vertebral fractures (VF) are the most prevalent osteoporotic fractures and osteoporotic hip fractures are the most serious complication of osteoporosis. The objectives of the present study were to determine the prevalence of VF in osteoporotic hip fractured women and to evaluate their association with pre-existing factors such as activities of daily living, quality of walking, numbers of falls, cognitive aspects and comorbidities. Material and methods Twenty-five departments of Orthopaedics, Rehabilitation and Geriatrics particip…

This study assessed the effect of eperisone + physical therapy compared with physical therapy alone on the alleviation of pain and disability experienced by patients with tension-type cervicalgia. Methods. Patients with tension-type cervicalgia were randomized to eperisone + physical therapy (Group A) or physical therapy alone (Group B). Patients were assessed at baseline (T0), after 4-weeks’ treatment (T1), and at 2 months’ follow-up (T2). Outcome measures included the Numerical Rating Scale, the Italian version of the Neck Pain and Disability Scale, the Short Form-McGill Pain Questionnaire, and the Italian version of the Neck Disability Index.

FRI0299 Prevalence of Vertebral Fractures in Osteoporotic HIP Fractured Patients: The Focus Study

Background Osteoporosis is a multifactorial systemic skeletal disease, characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural modifications of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in fragility fractures [1]. Vertebral fractures are the most prevalent osteoporotic fractures and osteoporotic hip fractures are the most serious complication of osteoporosis resulting in increased mortality and high socio-economic cost [2,3]. The coexistence of these two pathological conditions in elderly patients has been previously described, leading to even worse functional outcomes than each one alone [4]. Objectives To determine the prevalence of vertebral fractures in osteoporotic hip fractured women and …

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) side effects are a main reason for discontinuing bisphosphonate treatment, an important therapeuticoption for osteoporosis patients. Consequently, the development of novel formulations with improved tolerability is warranted. Inthis multicenter prospective, observational, postauthorization safety study conducted in Italy and Spain, postmenopausal women(PMW) with osteoporosis (naïve to bisphosphonates) were treated weekly with a buffered soluble alendronate 70 mg effervescent(ALN-EFF) tablet (Binosto®) and followed for 12  3 months. Information was collected on adverse events (AEs), medication errors,persistence, and compliance using the Morisky-Green questionnai…
