Summary

The main objective of this study is to target risk factors for falling, such as improved quadriceps muscle strength,balance and bone mineral density (BMD), to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures. Furthermore, to improve quality of life for patients with osteoporosis through an active rehabilitation program.

Sub-goals:

1. To assess the effect of active rehabilitation on risk factors for osteoporotic fractures (muscle strength, bone mineral density, balance and frequency of falling) in women with low bone mineral density (BMD)(t-score\<1.5) and radius fracture?
2. To assess how active rehabilitation affect the quality of life of women with low bone mineral density(BMD) (t-score\<1.5) and radius fracture?
