Detailed Description
In this prospective, randomized controlled 3-month study, 185 post-menopausal women who were diagnosed with osteoporosis and followed up in our outpatient clinic based on the osteoporosis diagnostic criteria by the World Health Organization were analyzed.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 60 patients were included in the study.
The patients included in the study were randomized by the co-researcher into 3 groups of 20 patients each according to the random numbers table. Group 1 received WBV and infrared therapy for 20 minutes per session, 2 days a week for 3 months. Group 2 received only infrared therapy for 20 minutes, 2 days a week for 3 months, in the same bed system. The patients were placed in the supine position with the whole body in contact with the platform/bed during the treatment. In terms of compliance with the WBV therapy, the frequency was increased to 30 Hz in the first week, 40 Hz in the second week, 50 Hz in the third week, and 60 Hz in the fourth week and administered for a total of 20 minutes. Subsequent sessions continued with 60 Hz. The acceleration value administered by the device was 2.0-4.0 m/s², and the amplitude of the applied vibration in the vertical direction was 0.5-2.0 mm.Infrared therapy at a wavelength of 550-950 nm was applied to both groups of patients by means of infrared pads on the bed during the treatment.Group 3 did not receive any treatment. Patients in all 3 groups continued their treatment with 1000 mg Ca and 880 IU vitamin D. The patients were called every week by phone to check whether they were complying with the treatment or not.Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar and femoral regions of all the patients was measured using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. In addition, osteocalcin and hydroxyproline values were measured. Quality of life was assessed using the Short Form-36 questionnaire, pain was assessed using the visual analog scale, and balance was assessed based on the participants' performance in the Berg Balance test.The scales were applied at the beginning and at the end of the treatment.

Experimental: Whole Body Vibration and Infrared Therapy Group
Patients in the whole body vibration and infrared group received vibration therapy with a frequency of 60 Hz and amplitude of 0.5-2 mm and infrared therapy at a wavelength of 550-950 nm 20 minutes daily session, 2 days per weeks for 3 months.1000
mg Ca and 880 IU vitamin D treatment were given.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Body Mass Density
Time Frame: 3 months
|
BMD (g/cm²) of the lumbar, femoral neck, and entire femoral regions of all patients was measured at the onset and end of the treatment using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (General Electric LUNAR Prodigy Advance).
|
3 months
|
Bone Turnover Markers
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Serum samples were taken from all patients between 08:00 and 10:00 in the morning after 12 hours of fasting.
Urine samples were analyzed in the first morning urine.
We checked the values of osteocalcin (OC) as a bone formation marker and hydroxyproline/creatinine values as a bone resorption marker.

The Short Form-36
Time Frame: 3 months
|
The Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a widely used health-related quality of life scale.
It is not specific to any age, disease, or treatment group.
It includes general health concepts.
It is a questionnaire containing 36 questions in 8 subscales.
SF-36 scale can be examined under 2 main sections as physical and mental health.
Patients are scored out of 100 points in the SF-36 scale and the scores obtained vary between 0 and 100 points for each component.
High scores on this scale indicate a better level of health, whereas low scores indicate deterioration of health.
|
3 months
|
Visual analog scale
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Pain was evaluated according to the visual analog scale (0: no pain; 10 very severe pain).
They were asked to describe their back pain on the scale choosing a number from 0 to 10 (10-cm VAS).
|
3 months
|
Berg Balance Test
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Berg Balance test (BBT) assesses whether people can maintain their balance during 14 different activities.
The level of competence in the activity for each item is scored between 0 and 4 with 0 indicating the lowest score (incapable of doing) and 4 indicating the highest score (doing it independently and safely).
The maximum score obtainable is 56.
Higher scores indicate better balance .
