STOP FRACTURE! Strength Training for Optimum Prevention of Fracture. Refocussing A Clinical paradigm That Underutilises Recognised Effective therapy
Description: Osteoporosis is a growing and costly problem that dramatically reduces quality of life, leads to loss of independence and increases risk of death. Usual treatment is drugs, but many patients won’t take them. Many use exercise as alternative therapy, but only certain exercise is effective. We aim to reduce osteoporotic fracture by implementing pathways of referral to a known effective exercise program, thereby supporting health care providers and their patients.
