Effective exercise for osteoporosis in the real world: Three year observations from The Bone ClinicBelinda Beck1,2,3 and Lisa Weis3

3 The Bone Clinic, Brisbane, Australia

• We recently demonstrated that brief, high intensity resistance and impacttraining (HiRIT) was safe and improved BMD, muscle force and function inpostmenopausal women with low to very low bone mass when supervisedunder randomized controlled trial conditions1

• Whether similar benefits could be achieved in ‘the real world’ wasunknown

• We therefore established a translational research clinic to examineeffectiveness, feasibility and acceptability of the HiRIT program (Onero™)when delivered on a user-pays basis to patients with osteopenia andosteoporosis

• Systematic longitudinal monitoring of clients provides the ability toexamine the effectiveness of the Onero™ program in a ‘real world’ setting

• The aim of the current work was to examine client outcomes from the first3 years of operation of the Clinic

• Clinic clients undergo comprehensive testing for biometrics, LS,total hip, and FN BMD, lean and fat mass, kyphosis angle, backextensor strength, functional performance (tandem walk, timedup-and-go, functional reach, 5-times-sit-to-stand), falls andfracture at baseline and annually thereafter

• Dietary consults for daily calcium are conducted at the sametimepoints (AusCal diet Q2)

• Twice-weekly supervised HiRIT with balance training (Onero™)is adopted on a voluntary, user-pays basis

• Compliance (attendance and weight lifted) and adverse eventsare recorded

• Clients with >30% HiRIT compliance (32/96 sessions/yr) wereincluded in the current analyses

• In the absence of a control group in this real world sample,training effects were examined using one-sample T-tests ofpercent change in outcome measures (2-tailed, α = 0.05)

• We report outcomes from the first 121 Clinic clients to complete 12 mths of Onero™ training

• Average compliance of the sample was 84.9 ± 30.2% (100% = 2 sessions x 50 weeks)

• Improvement was observed in 15 of 18 measured outcomes, and positive trends wereobserved in the remaining 3 (Table 1, Figure 1)

• While mean LS BMD improvement was 4%, 86% of clients gained bone at the spine (maximum+18.8%; Figure 2) and 69% gained at the hip (maximum +18.6%; Figure 3)

• Number of falls decreased 46.6% and fractures decreased 95.2%

• 20 minor soft tissue injuries were sustained in a combined total of 27,840 training sessions

• The dietary consult increased Ca consumption from food sources 23.5%

• Supervised, bone-targeted, high intensity resistanceand impact exercise notably improves bone andother factors of risk for osteoporotic fracture inpostmenopausal women with low to very low bonemass in a ‘real world’ clinical setting

• Excellent compliance and safety suggest theprogram is feasible for and acceptable to thepopulation at greatest risk

• Ongoing monitoring of this unique translationaldataset will determine the long term success ofexercise as a first line intervention for osteoporosis
