NCT01571843

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of forearm exercise on forearm bone density in post-menopausal women with or without primary hyperparathyroidism. The investigators hypothesize that forearm exercise will increase forearm bone density in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism more so than in patients without primary hyperparathyroidism.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of subjects with improved bone mass and bone quality at the 1/3 radius

    The primary outcome is proportion of subjects with improved bone mass and bone quality at the 1/3 radius over one year.

    1 year

Study Arms (4)

PHPT/ Walking + Forearm exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Ten participants with PHPT will be randomized to the intervention of 52 weeks of the forearm exercise program plus walking.

Other: Forearm exercise program

PHPT/ Walking alone

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Ten participants with PHPT will be randomized to the intervention of 52 weeks of the walking program alone. Walking will consist of 30 minutes at a moderate pace every other day for 52 weeks.

Other: Walking program

Osteopenia/ Walking + Forearm exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Ten healthy, postmenopausal women with osteopenia will be randomized to the intervention of 52 weeks of the forearm exercise program plus walking.

Other: Forearm exercise program

Osteopenia/ Walking alone

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Ten healthy, postmenopausal women with osteopenia will be randomized to the intervention of 52 weeks of the walking program alone. Walking will consist of 30 minutes at a moderate pace every other day for 52 weeks.

Other: Walking program

Interventions

Participants assigned to forearm exercise will receive training in forearm strengthening exercises from a doctoral occupational therapy student. Participants will be taught 8 exercises and are performed at home. The exercise program is designed to take about 30 minutes per session.

Also known as: Mechanical Loading
Osteopenia/ Walking + Forearm exercisePHPT/ Walking + Forearm exercise

Walking will consist of 30 minutes at a moderate pace every other day for 52 weeks. The walking program for all participants constitutes the control/placebo comparator.
