Study of EMG Biofeedback and Balance Training to Improve Balance in Elderly People with Osteoporosis Aged 65 to 75

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how activating the gluteus medius muscle using electromyography EMG biofeedback combined with balance training affects balance, physical performance, muscle activity, and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporosis. The study focuses on people aged 65 to 75 years who have balance problems related to osteoporosis. It aims to compare this combined approach to traditional balance training alone to understand its impact on these patients. Participants are divided into two groups. One group receives 30 minutes of traditional balance training involving functional strength, static and dynamic balance, and gait training, followed by 30 minutes of gluteus medius isometric strengthening using EMG biofeedback. This occurs three times a week for four weeks. The other group receives only the traditional balance training with the same frequency and duration. During the study, participants will be assessed for their balance at the start and one month after treatment. Researchers will also measure the activity of the gluteus medius muscle before treatment and after one month. The study focuses on monitoring improvements in balance and muscle function to understand the benefits of adding EMG biofeedback to standard balance exercises. Participation lasts for about one month, with follow-up assessments to evaluate outcomes.
