Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Postural Stability

    A balance system was employed to calculate the standing posture sway score.A high score was indicative of excessive movement during the test and thus, poor stability. The range of value was 0.3- 4.1.

    90 second

  • limits of stability

    patients shift their center of gravity from the center target to a blinking target and back to the center target.This process was repeated for each of the 9 targets. A high score was indicative of fine direction control.The range of value was 21- 66.

    1-2 minutes

  • Kinematic Data

    The movements of the head, upper spine, lower spine, pelvis,hip, thigh, and knee were measured using 6 inertial measurement units.

    5 minutes

  • timed up-and-go test

    sit-stand-walk-180° turning-walk and sitting down task

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

This study enrolled 13 adults with VCF, 13 older adult without spinal deformity, and 13 young adults.

You may qualify if:

  • older than 65 years osteoporosis diagnosed by a bone mineral density test of the lumbar spine (T-score \< -2.5; T: peak bone mass) thoracic-lumbar VCF on radiography without displacement

You may not qualify if:

  • other spinal diseases that might also cause back pain (such as scoliosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar disk disease, and spinal stenosis) a history of diabetes a history of neurological disease (such as cerebral vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy and vestibular disease).
  • None the control participants had evidence of gait, postural, or spine disorders.
