Risk Of Fall

SummaryThe objective of exercise in the treatment of osteoporosis is to improve axial stability through strengthening of back extensor muscles. Therefore, a back extension exercise program specific to one’s musculoskeletal competence and pain can be performed in a sitting position and later advanced to the prone position. When fragility is resolved, back extension is performed against resistance applied to the upper back. A significant reduction in back pain, kyphosis, and risk of falls and an improvement in the level of physical activity have been achieved through the SPEED (Spinal Proprioceptive Extension Exercise Dynamic) program. In addition, the application of a “Posture Training Support” (PTS) using a backpack may decrease kyphosis and pain related not only to compression fractures but also reduce iliocostal friction. Therapeutic exercise should address osteo - porosis-related deformities of axial posture, which can increase risk of fall and fracture. Thus, the role of a therapeutic exercise program is to increase muscle strength safely, decrease immobility-related complications, and prevent fall and fracture. As with pharmacotherapy, therapeutic exercises are individualized.

Patient Reported

Background and Purpose No detailed exercise programs specifically for patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) have been described in the literature. This lack of data creates a gap between the recommendation that people with OA should exercise and the type and dose of exercises that they should perform. The purpose of this case report is to describe and demonstrate the use of a therapeutic exercise program for a patient with hip OA. Case Description A 58-year-old woman with hip OA completed a 12-week therapeutic exercise program (TEP) with a 6-month follow-up. The patient reported hip pain, joint stiffness, and limited physical function, and she had decreased hip range of motion (ROM) at baseline. Outcomes The patient performed 19 sessions during the TEP, with a mean of 19.5 exercises per session. She increased the resistance in 3 of 5 strength (force-generating capacity) training exercises and achieved the highest degree of difficulty in all functional exercises. During the TEP and follow-up, the patient reported improvements in pain, joint stiffness, and physical function. Performance improved on the following physical tests: isokinetic peak torque strength (60°/s) in hip extension (40%), hip flexion (27%), knee extension (17%), and knee flexion (42%); hip ROM extension (8°); and 6-minute walk distance (83 m). Discussion The patient experienced less pain and improved physical function and physical test outcomes after intervention and at the 6-month follow-up. The main challenges when prescribing an exercise program for a patient with hip OA are monitoring the exercises to provide improvements without provoking persistent pain and motivating the patient to achieve long-term adherence to exercising. Randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of this TEP in patients with hip OA.

e17556 Background: Physical activity displays multiple benefits in oncology patients, with the strongest evidence related to breast cancer. But there is little information about patient with ovarian cancer, even less in those who are metastatic. The main objective of this study was to assess and describe the performance´s in patients suffering from ovarian cancer in terms of function and cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Methods: Patients willing to join therapeutic exercise program (TEP) were at the Medical Oncology Unit of the Hospital Virgen de la Victoria, Malaga. A physiotherapist carried out an interview and a baseline assessment. The following outcomes were recorded: number of repetitions (n) performed in 30 seconds sit-to-stand test (30-STS), handgrip strength (Kg), cancer related fatigue (CRF) measured by Piper Fatigue Scale (0-10), upper and lower limb function measured by Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) and Lower Upper Limb Functional Index (LLFI), respectively (%). Results: Patients recruited had a diagnosed of an advanced ovarian cancer receiving or not active treatment. All participants had a good performance status (PS) and signed informed consent. 8 women were included, with a mean age of 52.66 (9.53) years and a mean BMI of 27.22 (4.56) kg/m2. Women performed 22 (4.24) repetitions of 30-STS test. Handgrip strength was 22 (2.7) Kg and CRF 5.43 (2.91) points. Patients reported 64.81% (34.65) and 66.83% (37.91) in ULFI and LLFI questionnaires, respectively. Conclusions: At the light of these preliminary results, ovarian cancer patients present a good level of function measured by 30-STS and a good grip strength. However, they report a moderate level of CRF and affected upper and lower limbs function. In additions, patients measured had function enough to participate in a therapeutic exercise program. Given the heterogeneity of the sample and its low number of participants, future studies with a wider sample should be carried out.
