Summary

Osteoporosis is a silent disease that leads to fractures, postural deformities, and impaired balance, especially in postmenopausal women. In Pakistan, prevalence is high, with 39% of women reported as severely osteoporotic. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and balance issues face increased fall risk due to poor bone density, weakened muscles especially in the lower limb band altered posture .Balance and strength training reduce fall risk, but access to in-person rehabilitation is limited. Telerehabilitation provides remote delivery of structured exercise programs and has shown positive outcomes in balance and bone health. Few studies, however, have compared telerehabilitation with conventional training across all balance domains. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of Telerehabilitation and Traditional Balance Training in Post Menopausal Women with osteoporosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, and both will receive an identical standardized balance training program . The results of this clinical trial will help evaluate how telerehabilitation can improve the balance of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and improve health outcomes.

Interventions

OTHER

Telerehabilitation group

The telerehabilitation group participated in balance training sessions delivered through secure virtual platforms such as WhatsApp video calls. Participants completed 3 sessions per week, each lasting 45-60 minutes, over a total of 6 weeks (18 sessions). The program target static, dynamic, anticipatory, and reactive balance. participants will use households items.session began with warm-up exercises such as gentle marching, arm circles, and hamstring stretches, followed by balance training targeting static, dynamic, anticipatory, and reactive components. Exercises included heel-to-toe standing, single-leg stance, tandem stance, obstacle walking, heel-to-toe walking, side stepping, functional reach, weight shifting, caregiver-assisted perturbations, and foam surface standing. All exercises were performed in 3 sets with specified holds or repetitions. Sessions concluded with cool-down activities including tricep stretches, forward bends, and deep breathing.

OTHER

Traditional balance training group

Same as telerehabilitation group but it will concluded in a clinical setting.
