Summary

Osteoporosis is defined as low bone mineral density caused by altered bone microstructure, ultimately predisposing patients to fragility fractures. Osteoporotic fractures lead to a significant decrease in quality of life, increasing morbidity, mortality, and disability. Vertebral fracture may cause sagittal imbalance which leading to postural instability and becomes a possible risk factor for falls. The cause of balance problems in osteoporotic patients is multifactorial including increased thoracic kyphosis and postural sway, however the exact relationship between vertebral fractures and balance remains unclear. The aim of the study is; to evaluate the effect of the presence of a vertebral fracture on balance and physical performance and its contribution to fall and fracture risk in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
