Summary

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.

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).

Conditions

• Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal
• Balance; Distorted

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Berg Balance Scale	Berg Balance Scale is 14 item scale for detecting balance disorder.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Timed Up and Go Test	Timed Up and Go Test assesses mobility, balance, walking ability, and fall risk in older adults.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Korebalance Balance System	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.
