NCT00848159

Brief Summary

This study aimed to measure the degree of thoracic kyphosis in elderly women with those affected by osteoporosis in the spine, through photogrammetry computer and check the difference between the values obtained with the assumption of greater thoracic kyphosis in osteoporotic women.

Study Population

The investigators evaluated 12 women with mean age of 68.5 years (range 65 to 74 years), divided into two groups. Group 1 consists of six women with a densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis in column (SD: -2.70 to -4.97) and group 2 consists of six women with a densitometric diagnosis of osteopenia in column (DP: 1.07 to -2 , 09), both compared with young adults.

You may qualify if:

  • age between 50 and 80 years
  • with examination of bone densitometry
  • with densitometric diagnosis of osteopenia in the first group, the second group for osteoporosis,
  • willing to participate in the study

You may not qualify if:

  • presence of severe scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis, obesity
  • presence of neurological diseases serious

Biospecimen

The two groups were photographed in the sagittal plane with right column markers fixed on two anatomical points. The selected images were quantified by computerized photogrametry, using the program Autocad-2006
