No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of forearm exercise on forearm bone density in post-menopausal women with or without primary hyperparathyroidism.

The investigators hypothesize that forearm exercise will increase forearm bone density in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism more so than in patients without primary hyperparathyroidism.

Conditions

  • Primary Hyperparathyroidism
  • Bone Diseases, Metabolic
  • Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal
  • Bone Loss, Postmenopausal

Interventions

OTHER

Forearm exercise program

Participants assigned to forearm exercise will receive training in forearm strengthening exercises from a doctoral occupational therapy student. Participants will be taught 8 exercises and are performed at home. The exercise program is designed to take about 30 minutes per session.

OTHER

Walking program

Walking will consist of 30 minutes at a moderate pace every other day for 52 weeks. The walking program for all participants constitutes the control/placebo comparator.
