About this study

Official title: Immediate Effect Of Whole-Body Vibration And Walk Over Muscle Strength, Balance And Functional Performance In Elderly People With Osteoporosis And Osteopenia: Clinical Randomized Controlled Trial

Introduction: Osteoporosis and Osteopenia are common bone disorders, characterized by low bone mass, signs of bone deterioration and are responsible for typical bone fragility. Physical activity is certainly a valid prevention tool because it contributes to a healthy energy balance, increasing muscle mass and providing beneficial effects in bone metabolism. Stress induced by more vigorous activities such as weight lifting, increases the risk of injury, particularly in the elderly. Therefore, alternative strategies with lower risk of injury are indicated such as whole body vibration and walk.

Objective: Compare the effect whole body vibration and walking on muscular strength, balance and functional performance in the elderly with Osteoporosis and Osteopenia

Methods: It is a clinical trial study, controlled, parallel, randomized and blind, which will follow the guidelines established in the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Participants will be randomly distributed in 2 groups: the experimental group (GI) that will hold the training in the vibrating platform and the control group (GC) that will perform the walk, settling 1 treatment session. All participants will be subjected to the initial and final assessment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Training in the vibrating platformOther

    20-minute workout will be held, which will include: heating (5 minutes and stretching for the muscles quadriceps and sural triceps), 10 and 5 min of cooling.

  • WalkOther

    Will be held 30 minutes of training, which will include the heating (5 minutes of stretching for the muscles quadriceps and sural triceps), 10 and 5 min of cooling.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Muscular strength

    Test of 1 repetition maximum (1RM)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Balance

    Berg Balance scale (BBS). Minimum score 0 and maximum 56, the lower the score the greater the risk of falls.

    Measured: 20 minutes

  3. Functional performance

    Timed Up and Go test (TUG)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  4. Balance

    Stabilometry by Baropodometry

    Measured: 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plantar pressure distribution

    Baropodometry

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Training in the vibrating platform and Walk in people with Osteoporosis, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Muscular strength (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2019.
