Effects of Kinect-based Virtual Reality Training in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia

Postmenopausal Osteopenia

Osteopenia is a clinical term to define the declined Bone Mineral Density (BMD) as per the normal reference values but not low enough to meet osteoporotic diagnostic criteria. A Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) bone scan is used to diagnose decreased BMD. Osteopenia is, as described by the World Health Organization (WHO), a score ranging from -1 to -2.5, whereas Osteoporosis is diagnosed with values less than - 2.5. The risk of a decrease in BMD doubles as a woman goes into Menopause. The objective of this study will be to determine the effects of Kinect-based virtual reality training on BMD, fracture risk, physical function and Quality of life in postmenopausal women with Osteopenia. This study will be a Randomized controlled trial. The study will be conducted at Riphah Rehabilitation Center, Lahore. Duration of the study will be 18 months. The sample size will be calculated after the completion of the pilot study. Initial screening of the participants will be done as per screening protocol and participants fulfilling inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group A will receive Kinect based virtual reality training along with routine diet and routine Medication. Group B will be controlled with routine diet and routine Medication. Participants of both groups will be assessed at baseline for BMD, risk of fracture, all Objective and subjective parameters of Physical Performance and Quality of Life. Post-treatment assessment of Physical performance measures and Quality of life will be done after the 12th and 24th week, while BMD and fracture risk will be measured only after the 24th week. BMD will be measured by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) for Lumbar spine (BMD), proximal femur (BMD), T-score and Z-score. Fracture risk will be calculated by FRAX score, which estimates a fracture's probability within the next ten years. Physical Performance will be assessed by Time Up and Go Test (TUG), Functional Reach Test, Five Times Sit to Stand Test, Grip strength, Fall Efficacy Scale International, Borg revised category-ratio scale (0 to 10 scale) and Dyspnea index. Urdu Version of ECOS-16 will be used for the evaluation of health-related Quality of life (HRQOL). Data will be analyzed on SPSS-25.

The Effect of Effervescent Alendronate on Bone Turnover

Osteopenia or Osteoporosis

64 postmenopausal women are randomized to treatment with either effervescent and buffered alendronate or conventional alendronate -both 70mg weekly for 16 weeks to see if bone turnover is suppressed to the same extent as in the conventional formulation with the effervescent form.

Effect of Electromyostimulation on Bone

OsteopeniaSarcopenia1 more

Although there is some evidence that whole body electromyostimulation(WB-EMS) affect bone via its acute and longitudinal effects on muscle mass and strength, the corresponding impact on bone density and falls in older adults has not been assessed yet. The investigators hypothesize that WB-EMS significantly affects bone parameters as assessed by DXA, and significantly reduce fall rate and ratio in a cohort of frail elderly women.

A Study of LY2541546 in Women With Low Bone Mineral Density

Osteoporosis

The primary objectives of this study include evaluating the dose response of LY2541546 using bone mineral density (BMD) change from baseline as compared to placebo and evaluating the overall safety and tolerability of LY2541546 following multiple subcutaneous administrations in postmenopausal (PMP) women with low BMD. Following the last dose of study drug, participants will be able to participate in a 12 month extension to collect additional safety and efficacy data (no further treatment will be administered during this extension).

The Effect of Exercise in Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Density

OsteoporosisOsteopenia

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of a 12 month gym- and home-based exercise program on bone density and falls risk factors in postmenopausal women with low bone density. It is hypothesised that the exercise program will lead to improvements in bone density and falls risk factors such as balance and muscle strength compared with usual care.

Comparison of Tibolone and Raloxifene on Bone Mineral Density in Osteopenic Postmenopausal Women...

Osteopenia

Both tibolone and raloxifene have been demonstrated to prevent postmenopausal bone loss. During treatment with tibolone bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine has been shown to be increased between 1.8 and 5.8 % above baseline in two years, depending on the population studied. Since treatments aimed at prevention should ideally be used long-term, compliance with the treatment is crucial. Efficacy of and compliance with the two treatments will be measured and evaluated.

PRIOR Study - A Study of Ibandronate (Boniva) in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis or Osteopenia...

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment adherence to different regimens of ibandronate in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia who are intolerant to daily or weekly alendronate or risedronate therapy due to gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months, and the target sample size is 517 individuals.

Effect of Intake of Whey Protein in Elderly Osteopenic Patients. Implications for Metabolism and...

Osteopenia

The aim of this study is to investigate potential metabolic effects of whey protein high in protein and high in leucine(HPHL) compared to soy protein high in protein and low in leucine(HPLL) in osteopenic patients in a randomized controlled intervention study. The investigator hypothesize that HPHL will increase physical function and the ratio muscle mass / fat mass in this condition.
