Role of physical activity for the prevention and rehabilitation of osteoporosis

Zeitschrift für Gastroenterologie

Abstract

The therapeutic exercises pursue preventive as well as rehabilitative aims within the osteoporosis therapy. The objective depends on whether an osteoporosis already occurred and it depends also on the respective stage of the osteoporosis. Aims and main points from the physiotherapy and sports therapy are: construction of the bone substance; receipt of the bone substance; pain alleviation; fall prophylaxis. To reach an optimal bone mineral content in recent years activities are necessary on which own body weight must be carried. In the later adult age the same activities in addition are necessary to reduce the natural reduction rate of bone mineral content to a minimum. With beginning or already occurred osteoporosis must those activities be operated with caution and restraint which have to do with abrupt interceptions of the body weight.The combination of medication and physical activities shows better therapy results as the respective measures alone. An important therapeutic aspect with older humans exists in the reduction of the fall risk and thus the fracture risk. In addition a muscle training - as for example in the medical training therapy - can raise the pain threshold, so that the pain sensitivity of the patients is imp...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
