MEDICAL REHABILITATION WITH COMPREHENSIVE GERIATRIC ASSESMENT IN PATIENT WITH RESTABILIZATION THORACAL SPINE

Darryl Setiawan, Elfrida Marpaung

Abstract


The elderly have an increased incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis affecting approximately 52 million people in the United States. Low bone density in older adults increases risks of hand/wrist, hip, and vertebral body frac­tures, which can result in significant pain, immobility, and loss of functional independence. Osteoporotic compression fractures are important to diag­nose, both because they are a significant source of morbid­ity and can herald the risk for subsequent fractures, particularly hip fractures, which have high mor­bidity and mortality rates. Osteoporosis requires treatment with a combination of medication, lifestyle modification, and exercise. Physical therapy and exercise are useful to reduce disability, improve movement, lower risk of falls, and increase bone density with weight-bearing activity.
