Osteoporosis While you cannot change your genetics or heredity, skeletal frame, gender, race or age, you can control other Risk Factors Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
Prevention • The prevention of osteoporosis should begin in childhood. • Identification of individuals at high risk for developing osteoporosis is important in prevention. • The preventive approach to disease ideally begins before patients are symptomatic, as this is the optimal time for positive treatment outcomes. Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
Types of Prevention * Primary -Aims to remove the cause of a disease *Secondary • Aims to detect asymptomatic dysfunction and treat it early to avoid progression *Tertiary - The treatment of existing symptoms to prevent progression of a disease Dehghan FM.
Levels of Prevention for Osteoporosis • Primary Prevention strategies such as Exercise, adequate calcium intake, vitamin B intake, drug treatments, smoking cessation, and no/decreased alcohol intake. • Secondary Prevention of osteoporosis focuses on screening. This level of prevention targets women who have osteopenia or osteoporosis. • Tertiary Prevention focuses on calcium and vitamin D intake, exercise, drug therapy and fracture prevention. This level of prevention is aimed at women with histories of fracture due to osteoporosis. Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
10-20 Year Olds Prevention • In adolescence, the focus is on primary prevention strategies : • 10-20 years old is the time to make deposits in the “bone bank”. A Calcium rich diet, including plenty of dairy products and green, leafy vegetables, vitamin B intake, drug treatments, smoking cessation, and no alcohol intake. • Young women need to be concerned about maintaining Regular Menstrual Cycles , Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
20-35 Year Olds Prevention • In 20-35 years old bones are at reach peak strength. • Maintaining a calcium rich diet and the habit of a regular, moderate exercise program are tremendous defenses against Osteoporosis. • Primary and secondary prevention strategies for these ages aim to maximize peak bone mass minimize bone loss Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
35-50 Year Olds Prevention Individuals may already have started to lose bone mass. Continued emphasis on a Calcium rich diet and regular, Moderate Exercise is a healthy strategy. In addition, during this time you might want to consider bone density screening. Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
Over 50 Prevention • Postmenopausal women may be losing bone mass at a rate of 1-6% per year. • Risk becomes greatest for men also. • calcium rich diet and a healthy lifestyle which includesExercise of at least 20 minutes at least 3 times per week ,can diminish the effects of Osteoporosis • . Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
The goals of the treatment of Osteoporosis • Minimize bone loss • Decrease falls and the resulting fractures • There are two types of treatment: • Pharmacologic and Nonpharmacologic. • The non-pharmacologic treatment includes: • Exercise and Fall Prevention Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
Physical Therapy Assessment (1) Initial Evaluation (History Taking) • Medical history • • Fracture history • • Falls history • • Exercise/physical activity history • Family History Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
Physiotherapy Assessment(2) • Joint Range of Motion • Anthropometric and Spinal Mobility • Flexibility • Pain Control (if necessary) • Muscle Strength and Endurance • Posture and Gait • Exercise/Aerobic Capacity • Balance & Functional Testing • Daily Activity • Quality of Life Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
What physiotherapists can help…. • • Pain Relief/ Pain Control • • Postural Correction • • Weight-bearing Exercises: High, medium, • Low impact • • Reduce joint stiffness • • Increase muscle strength/ endurance • • Improve balance • • Prevent fall and fracture Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
Exercises • Exercise affects bone density, size and shape,Turner (2003). • Exercise results in mechanical strength improvement. • Exercise causes stimulation of osteoblast activity (NAMS, 2002). Increased BMD by exercise is thought to be due to the suppression of bone resorption (Kohrt, 1998). Exercising regularly in childhood and adolescence can ensure that you will reach peak bone density. Need to participate in weight bearing exercise. For example, walking, dancing, jogging, stair climbing, racquet sports and hiking. Dr.Dehghan Manshadi
