Osteoporosis, Postural Balance

Intervention(s)

E02.779.483

Vibratory Rod Training: 20 older women with diagnostic of osteoporosis,non-institutionalized will perform 8 weeks of training with balance exercises to vibrate the vibrating rod, 2 sessions weekly with 30 minutes each session

Non Vibratory Rod Training: 20 older women with diagnostic of osteoporosis,non-institutionalized will perform 8 weeks of training with balance exercises without making the vibration of vibrating rod, 2 sessions weekly with 30 minutes each session

Other

Primary Outcome(s)

Increased in muscle activation in lumbar iliocostal, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, gluteus maximus, tibialis anterior and lateral gastrocnemius during post training with vibration rod. Muscle activation will be assessment by electromyography pre and post training

Increased activation of the vastus lateralis muscle post vibration rod training.

Secondary Outcome(s)

Maintenance of functional balance post vibration rod training.

Improvement in functional balance assessment during post training period with vibrating rod observed by the increase in the scores of Berg Balance Scale.They will be rated according to the quality of performance during the course of the same, need assistance and time to complete tasks.
