About this study

Official title: Validity of Korebalance Balance System in Postmenopausal Osteoporotic Patients

In postmenopausal osteoporosis patients, the balance is impaired. Equilibrium is evaluated with various test and balance systems. This study aims evaluation of the patients with the Korebalance Balance System and balance tests and investigation the validity of the Korebalance Balance System.

Read the detailed description

53 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients were evaluated with balance tests (Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)) and Korebalance Balance System. The Korebalance Balance System is a balance assessment and exercise system. The higher the score, the greater the deterioration in the balance. The results of static and dynamic balance evaluation are recorded as score values. In this study, investigators compared Korebalance Balance System, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests and other demographic and clinical parameters (age, body mass index (BMI), 25OHvitD level, menopause age, fall within the last 1 year, fracture history, history of fracture in mother).

What participants receive

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

  • Berg Balance ScaleDiagnostic test

    Berg Balance Scale is 14 item scale for detecting balance disorder.

  • Timed Up and Go TestDiagnostic test

    Timed Up and Go Test assesses mobility, balance, walking ability, and fall risk in older adults.

  • Korebalance Balance SystemDiagnostic test

    Korebalance Balance System evaluates the balance and stability using objective neuro-sensory balance assessment. Static Test requires standing steady \& balancing on the platform, keeping the crosshairs of cursor in the center of the test pattern. The Score indicates the deviation of user's center of gravity from the center of the pattern. Dynamic Test offers a moving cursor that the user "follows". Four patterns are offered: Circle, Square, Infinity and Random. Each pattern is available in three dimensions: Small, Medium and Large; five speeds; Clockwise and Counterclockwise directions.
