Abstract:
Objective To explore the application effect of multi-component home-based exercise in elderly patients with osteoporosis and frailty.Methods A total of 52 elderly patients with osteoporosis and frailty were recruited from the osteoporosis clinic of a tertiary hospital in Nanjing,Jiangsu Province from March to August 2022 using the convenience sampling method.Subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group with 26 cases in each group by the random number table.The experimental group was given the home-based exercise program,while the control group maintained the daily lifestyle.Short Physical Performance Battery(SPPB),grip strength,Frail Scale and Chinese Osteoporosis-targeted Quality of Life Questionnaire(COQOL)of the 2 groups were compared at 12 weeks and 24 weeks,and bone mineral density(BMD)was analyzed after 24-week intervention.Results The scores in the experimental group had significant statistical differences in SPPB,grip strength,Frail Scale and COQOL compared with those in the control group after 12-week and 24-week intervention(P＜0.05).The BMD of total hip of the experimental group was significantly higher than it in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The home-based exercise program can help the elderly with osteoporosis and frailty to improve the physical function and upper body strength,improve the frailty state,and enhance the quality of life,and it may be one of the effective intervention methods to prevent and reverse the frailty state of osteoporosis patients.
