Summary

With the increase in life expectancy women spend more than one-third of their life time in post-menopausal state leading to osteoporosis in later stages. Therefore a decrease in temporal-spatial parameters of gait, high risk of fracture, imbalance in functional parameters, fear of fall and compromised health-related quality of life is observed among osteoporotic females. Several physical activities and balance training programs have been implemented globally but nationally no program has yet been designed catering gait balance and fear of fall altogether as a combined program. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Osteoanabolic exercises on Temporal-Spatial gait parameters, Gait Stability Ratio (GSR) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) among the osteoporotic females. Moreover, the effectiveness of these exercises was evaluated on dynamic balance using Timed Up and Go Test (TUG).

Furthermore, the impact on fear of fall was identified using Fall Efficacy ScaleInternational (FES-I).
