About this study

BACKGROUND: The deterioration of musculoskeletal system imposes significant impact on physical activity in older adults.

METHODS: This was a randomized, parallel-group, prospective study. All participants received education program including home-based exercise. The IC group consisted of different modalities of exercise while the LEE group performed machine-based exercise. Body composition, muscle strength, and physical performance were measured at their baseline and 3 months follow-up.

Being tested
Integrated care (IC), Lower extremity exercise (LEE), Home care (HC)
Keywords
Osteoporosis, Fall, Fracture, Sacopenia, Body Composition
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Integrated care (IC)Behavioural

    Integraded care (IC) Weekly professional led exercise program for 90 mins with reinforcemen on osteoporosis related educations and caremangements from study educational booklet and CD rom for 3-month. The exercise program included 15 minutes warm up with 10 minute brisk walks followed by gentle stretching. Resistance training (20-30 minutes) was provided with rubber band and bottled water (0.6-1L) as weight for major muscles of upper and lower limbs. Balance training were also provided for 10 minutes with tandem gaits and one leg standing, step up and down stairs, toe walking and heel walking.

  • Lower extremity exercise (LEE)Behavioural

    Lower extremity exercise (LEE) group subjects were invited to BB site to receive 2 sessions of 45-mintute training using isotonic strength training machines on major muslce groups each week. The intensity is set at 60-80% of 1 repetition maximum (RM). Evaluation of the exercise protocol are repeated every 2 weeks for individualized adjustments by trained physical therapist.

  • Home care (HC)Behavioural

    Home care (HC) group subjects were invited to LK site. For examining whether the exercise video could help elderly people to maintain their exercise and improve their muscle strength or not, the investigators provided exercise video to subjects, and encouraged them to play this exercise at least 2 hours for one week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Integrated care (IC), Lower extremity exercise (LEE) and Home care (HC) in people with Osteoporosis and Fracture, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lower extremity extensor power measured by isokinetic resistance equipment (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Nov 2015.
