Περίληψη – Summary

 Objectives: The aim of this open-prospective randomized clinical study was to explore the effectiveness of motor control exercise on pain and spinal curvatures in women with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Material and method: Twenty one women with osteoporotic vertebral fractures receiving standard medication were randomly assigned to an exercise (ExG) (n = 10) and a control (CG) (n = 11) group. Pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale. Spinal curvatures were assessed with a digital inclinometer. The ExG group underwent MCE for 3 months, with a 3-month self-maintenance period, while the control group underwent treatment as directed by their medical practitioner.

Results: The ANCOVA examining differences between groups were significant with respect to: a) pain at 3- (F = 33.291, p <0.001, n2 = 0.662) and 6-month (F = 9.909, p <0.01, n2 = 0.368) and b) kyphosis at 3- (F = 129.670, p <0.001, n2 = 0.884) and 6-month (F = 129.731, p <0.001, n2 = 0.834).

Conclusions: The decrease in pain and kyphosis without adverse effect in women with osteoporotic vertebral fractures was achieved by introducing the MCE intervention. This program is of low intensity and could be prescribed to osteoporotic patients with vertebral fractures.
