Osteoporosis and Arthritis Flashcards
A condition in which BMD is lower than normal
Osteopenia
Bone Weakness
BMD is significantly reduced
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis
BMD of -2.5
Bone loss
Research has shown that the risk of _ fractures _ every _ years in _ women older than the age of _
hip doubles 5 postmenopausal 50
Types of Osteoporosis: Type I
Estrogen deficiency
common in women during menopause
onset at age 50
trabecular bone loss (spongy bone)
most common fracture site are the vertebrae and wrist
can participate in regular exercise routine
Types of Osteoporosis: Type II
vitamin D deficiency
onset at age 70
trabecular and cortical bone loss (compact bone)
most common fracture sites are the vertebrae and hip
may NOT be able to participate in regular exercise routine
Resistance training should be performed in a
seated or standing position. Phases 1 and 2 of the OPT model will be appropriate for this population
Flexibility should be limited to
static and active stretching. The use of SMR should not be used for this population.
Focus on _ _ exercise, but use caution
load-bearing
Cardio
Osteoporosis
treadmill walking
weight bearing exercise
Frequency
Osteoporosis
2-5 times per week
Int%
Osteoporosis
50-90% MHR (different from Karvonen)
progress through stages conservatively
Time
Osteoporosis
20-60 minutes or 8-10 minute increments
RT
Osteoporosis
2-3 times a week
1-3 sets
8-20 reps
up to 85% (focusing on hypertrophy for BMD
Progress through phases of OPT conservatively
Special Considerations
Osteoporosis
progress to free sitting (no back support) or standing exercises as quickly as possible
focus on hips, legs, back and arms
avoid excessive spinal loading (squat and leg press)
Avoid Valsalva Maneuver
