Post-osteoporotic Fracture Exercise Program
A study testing Exercise Program in people with Osteoporosis and Osteoporotic Fracture, run by Western University, Canada at 1 site in Canada.
Trial summary
Those with osteoporosis often have weaker bones and this leads to higher chances of fractures. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate the feasibility and safety of group exercise classes specifically designed for individuals with osteoporosis who had an osteoporotic fracture.

About this study
Official title: Community Osteoporosis Exercise Class for People Post Fracture
Those with osteoporosis often have weaker bones and this leads to higher chances of fractures. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate the feasibility and safety of group exercise classes specifically designed for individuals with osteoporosis who had an osteoporotic fracture. By focusing on this high-risk population, the investigators want to see whether such exercise interventions can be an option for improving bone health, reducing the risk of future fractures, and enhancing physical function without compromising safety.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Exercise ProgramOther
Participants complete a 12-week, twice weekly, whole body group exercise program. Participants will also complete qualitative interviews and DXA bone scans.

|---|---|---|
| Experimental Arm for Feasibility study | Experimental | Feasibility Intervention Receives: Other: Exercise Program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Recruitment Feasibility
Recruitment feasibility will be assessed by the number of participants enrolled in the study over a 12-month recruitment period. The target recruitment goal is 100 participants.
Measured: Assessed over 12 months
Retention Feasibility
Retention feasibility will be assessed as the percentage of enrolled participants who complete the 12-week reassessment. The predefined retention target is 60%. Percentages range from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating better retention feasibility.
Measured: Assessed at 12 weeks
Exercise Class Adherence
Exercise adherence will be assessed using class attendance records. Adherence will be calculated as the percentage of scheduled exercise sessions attended by each participant. The predefined adherence target is 80%. Percentages range from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating better adherence.
Measured: Assessed over the 12-week intervention period
Secondary outcomes (2)
Program Acceptability
Program acceptability will be assessed using participant exit interviews conducted at the completion of the intervention. Acceptability will be calculated as the percentage of participants who report a positive response regarding satisfaction with the program. The predefined acceptability target is 80%. Percentages range from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating greater program acceptability.
Measured: Assessed at 12 weeks
Intervention Safety
Intervention safety will be assessed by recording the number and type of adverse events attributable to the intervention, including falls, musculoskeletal pain, prolonged muscle soreness, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, and other participant-reported medical concerns. Lower numbers indicate better intervention safety.
Measured: Assessed throughout the 12-week intervention period

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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.
