Summary

Chemotherapy can damage bone marrow and therefore impair the production of white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells with the resulting anemia and osteoporosis.

Detailed description

Purposes of this study were: 1. To determine the therapeutic efficacy of the whole-body vibration (WBV) in improving osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months. 2. To determine the therapeutic efficacy of the weight bearing exercise in improving osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months. 3. To gain knowledge about the whole-body vibration (WBV) and the weight bearing exercise in improving osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months. 4. To share in designing an ideal protocol for the treatment of the osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months.

Conditions

• Osteoporosis
• Breast Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Whole body vibration group	Whole body vibration apparatus (model Power plate -my5tm, made in United States) with frequency 30 - 40 Hz was used for the whole body vibration program by reciprocating vertical displacements on the left and right side of a fulcrum.
OTHER	Weight bearing exercises	Electronic treadmill Kettler- marathon model No 7899-800, made in Germany (as form of weight bearing exercises), which was adjusted to the subject's comfortable walking speed. Generally, during the treadmill training, its speed and inclination are electronically adjusted, and it is also provided with a control panel to display the exercise parameters. It allows for the comfortable running without joint or back pains through a perfect combination between aluminium-pertinax running deck, shock absorbers and overall shock-damping design.
DRUG	vitamin D supplements and calcium	vitamin D supplements and calcium
