Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Postural Stability Test (Biodex) Assessed at Baseline
overall stability index: quantifying the ability to maintain dynamic postural stability The patient's score on this test assesses deviations from center, thus lower index means less instability and better balance. Measures were obtained from 20-sec trials during which participants were asked to maintain an upright standing position on their dominant limb on the unstable surface of the Biodex Stability and Balance System. 0 is the minimum score, but there is no defined maximum score
Postural Stability Test (Biodex) Assessed After Treatment (8 Weeks)
overall stability index: quantifying the ability to maintain dynamic postural stability. The patient's score on this test assesses deviations from center, thus a lower score is more desirable than a higher score. Measures were obtained from 20-sec trials during which participants were asked to maintain an upright standing position on their dominant limb on the unstable surface of the Biodex Stability and Balance System 0 is the minimum score, but there is no defined maximum score
Berg Balance Test Assessed at Baseline
14-item scale designed to measure balance of the older adult in a clinical setting minimum: 0 maximum: 56 A score of 56 indicates functional balance. A score of < 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling.
Berg Balance Test Assessed After Treatment (8weeks)
14-item scale designed to measure balance of the older adult in a clinical setting minimum: 0 maximum: 56 A score of 56 indicates functional balance. A score of < 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Fall Risk Assesment Performed at Baseline
Biodex fall risk screening test: Patients were instructed to maintain the vertical projection with their center of gravity in the midpoint of the platform 0 is the best possible value, higher score reflects increased risk of falling. But there is no defined maximum score
Fall Risk Assesment Performed After Treatment (8 Weeks)
Biodex fall risk screening test: Patients were instructed to maintain the vertical projection with their center of gravity in the midpoint of the platform 0° is the best possible value, higher score reflects increased risk of falling. But there is no defined maximum score.
Health Status Assessed at Baseline
Notthingham Health Profile: general patient reported outcome measure which measures subjective health status. 38 questions in 6 subareas, with each question assigned a weighted value; the sum of all weighted valuesin a given subarea adds up to 100. Overall score is calculated by summing up 6 subdomian scores. Ovearall minimum: 0 maximum: 600 (6X100) Higher scores reflect worse health status

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In recent years, skeletal and nonskeletal effects of vitamin D has been studied. One of the effects of it was balance and fall prevention. However, these studies were performed on older patients who had not vitamin D deficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of vitamin D replacement therapy and exercise on balance in 50-70 years-old postmenopausal women.
