Summary

In this project, researchers evaluated the effects and differences of smart-video based game therapy and Otago-based structured exercises in women with osteoporosis; aimed to evaluate their applicability in women with osteoporosis.

Detailed description

Osteoporosis is a musculoskeletal disease characterized by decreased bone mass and deterioration of the microstructure of the bone. The aim of the study is to use smart-based video-based play therapy and Otago-based structured exercises in women with osteoporosis; To evaluate the effect on bone quality, lower extremity muscle strength, balance, fear of falling, kinesiophobia and quality of life. Working Groups Group 1: Smart Based Video Based Game Therapy Group Group 2: Otago Based Structured Exercise Group Group 3: Control Group Participants who agree to participate in the study are first evaluated with the Mental State Assessment - Standardized Mini Mental Test and Game Therapy group with the Simulator Illness Questionnaire and System Usability Scale, and if they meet the participation criteria, our study involves face-to-face interviews and blood and urine samples are routinely performed by the doctor on all patients at their first visit. Bone quality will be evaluated using bone turnover markers. Static balance with Romberg Test, dynamic balance with Four Square Step Test, functionality with Timed Up and Go Test, fear of falling with International Fall Activity Scale, kinesiophobia with Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, muscle strength with Myometer, quality life with European Osteoporosis Association Quality of Life Questionnaire-41 will be evaluated.

Conditions

• Osteoporosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Smart-Video Based Game Therapy	The Active Arcade program will be practiced 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Individuals in this group will be given a 1-minute rest break between games. Sessions will be approximately 30 minutes. Selected games focus on balance, coordination and weight transfer.
OTHER	Otago Based Structured Exercise	Exercises will be done 2 days a week for 8 weeks and last approximately 30 minutes. In general, if individuals can perform 2 sets of 10 repetitions at a difficulty level with quality, they can move on to a higher difficulty level. It consists of warm-up, balance and strengthening exercises. It was developed to increase balance.
OTHER	No intervention	A training presentation based on the guidelines and individuals' needs will be developed for participants in the control group. The presentation will include an infographic developed with the CANVA program, a test created with Google Forms, and a summary video developed with the Powtoon program. The created presentation will be presented online to individuals in the control group, and the participants will be followed by phone once a week for 8 weeks. The topics of the training will be: What is Osteoporosis, Osteoporosis Prevalence, Findings and Risk Factors, Diagnosis of Osteoporosis, Osteoporosis Prevention and Nutrition, Osteoporosis and Exercise, Preventing Falls.
