TRIPP Module: Strong, steady and straight: UK consensus statement on physical activity and exercise for osteoporosis (2CPD)

R250.00

It is estimated that 137 million women and 21 million men have high osteoporotic fracture risk globally, with this prevalence expected to double in the next 40 years. Fractures of the hip and spine can lead to loss of independence, disability and reduced life expectancy. Vertebral fractures are associated with long-term pain and other physical and psychological symptoms.

Exercise and physical activity can improve bone strength and the risk of falls, which may offer benefits in the
prevention and management of osteoporosis. However, uncertainty about the types of exercise that are safe and effective instigates lack of confidence in people with osteoporosis and health professionals. Existing guidelines leave some questions unresolved. This consensus statement aimed to determine the physical activity and exercise needed to optimize bone strength, reduce fall and fracture risk, improve posture and manage vertebral fracture symptoms, while minimizing potential risks in people with osteoporosis.

A TRIPP Module consists out of a world class Clinical publication, sometimes practical rehab video demonstrations or/and extra reading content to support the topic and a short questionnaire.

Description

Objectives:

The objective of this study is to provide guidance on the role of exercise and physical activity in the prevention and management of osteoporosis.
The specific aims are to:
► Clarify the role of physical activity and exercise for optimizing bone strength and reducing falls and fracture risk.
► Clarify the role of physical activity and exercise in managing the pain and symptoms of vertebral fracture.
► Review any safety issues of exercise for those with osteoporosis, to address fears of causing fractures (particularly in the spine) while engaging in exercise or day-to-day physical activities.
► Promote confidence and a positive approach so that people with osteoporosis do more rather than less exercise and physical activity.
► Ensure consistent advice for people with osteoporosis so that people can exercise safely and effectively.
