Résumé |
Osteoporosis can cause significant disability, including pain, fractures, and decreased mobility. Pain control, proper exercise prescription, and use of orthotics for back support can be helpful in improving functional abilities. Programs in fall prevention can decrease the risk of falls and osteoporotic fractures. Quality of life can be improved through proper rehabilitative management of patients with osteoporosis.
