Balance, falls, and bone health: Role of exercise in reducing fracture risk after stroke

Abstract: Abstract-Fractures occur frequently in people living with stroke and have high personal, social, and economic costs for these individuals, their families, and the community. Exercise to reduce the risk of fragility fractures is a relatively new application in stroke rehabilitation but is a promising treatment with the potential to reduce the incidence of falls as well as maintain or improve bone health. In this article, we outline fracture risk factors and provide an overview of exercise interventions aimed at… Show more

“…242 Moreover, the decline in BMD, coupled with balance deficits resulting from stroke, increases fracture risk. 245 Changes in BMD after stroke are correlated with functional deficits in the paretic limb(s). Jørgensen et al 246 assessed 40 patients at 6 days, 7 months, and 1 year after stroke.…”

“…587 If left undetected or untreated, balance impairments can result in a cascade of serious, undesirable, and expensive events. 175,245 Evaluation of balance abilities is considered part of routine clinical practice in individuals with stroke. 308,588,589 Standardized tests of balance challenge different aspects of postural control such as anticipatory postural reactions during a variety of functional behaviors.…”

“…Participation in regular physical activity in people with stroke has been associated with improved mobility and motor function, increased cardiovascular fitness, greater strength and bone density as well as increased quality of life (Pang et al 2006;Eng et al 2008; Saunders et al 2009). Moreover, inactivity is now recognized as a modifiable risk factor for recurrent stroke as well as for cardiovascular disease.…”

“…7,8 Although accidental falls are a major cause of fractures among individuals with stroke, 2,3,9 progressive bone loss after stroke may also be an important contributing factor. 4,10 Fractures in the upper extremity account for 27%-36% of all fractures after stroke, and most of these occur on the paretic side. 1,2 Thus, studying bone health of the upper extremity in people with stroke is clinically relevant.…”
