Exercise program aims to steady the stance of osteoporosis patients
NCT ID NCT07763717
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a structured 12-week physiotherapy exercise program can improve balance, posture, and reduce fall risk in people with osteoporosis. Participants, aged 50 and older, will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a control group. The program focuses on balance, posture correction, and strength training, with the goal of enhancing stability and reducing the fear of falling.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A structured physiotherapy exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a practical, drug-free way to improve balance and posture, potentially reducing falls and fractures in older adults with osteoporosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial, and results may not apply to everyone. The program requires commitment, and benefits may vary depending on individual health and adherence.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria:o Confirmed clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis, established through standard diagnostic procedures such as bone mineral density (BMD) assessment (e.g., T-score ≤ -2.5 at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, or total hip) or a physician's diagnosis based on clinical history and fracture risk assessment. * Aged 50 years or older. * Ability to understand and follow verbal and written instructions in Albanian. * Ability to ambulate independently, with or without an assistive device, for at least 10 meters. * Willingness to provide informed consent and commit to the full 12-week intervention period and follow-up assessments. Exclusion Criteria: * o Presence of any neurological disorder (e.g., Parkinson's disease, stroke) that significantly affects balance or mobility. * Acute fractures or recent (within the last 6 months) osteoporotic fractures that would preclude participation in an exercise program. * Severe cardiovascular or respiratory conditions that would contraindicate moderate-intensity exercise. * Uncontrolled systemic diseases (diabetes, hypertension). * Cognitive impairment that would interfere with understanding or adhering to the study protocol. * Participation in another balance or strength training program within the last 3 months. * Any other medical condition or medication use that, in the opinion of the primary investigator, would compromise participant safety or the integrity of the study results.
