This study was planned to investigate the role of biochemical markers and Bone Mineral Density(BMD) in postmenopausal (PMO) and senile osteoporosis (SO) patients. A total of 86 patients( 44 PMO, 42 SO), ages ranged between 39-79 were included in this study. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin levels were determined from blood samples. Urinary deoxypyridinoline(Dpd) and creatinine(cr) concentration were examined and the ratio of Dpd/cr was calculated. Also BMD of the patients were measured from L1-L4 and proximal femur and t score were determined. There was no statistical difference in ALP levels between two groups. Osteocalcine and Dpd/cr levels were statistically increased in PMO group(p<0.001). According to BMD t score which was measured from proximal femur was significantly higher in SO patients(p<0.05). Our results show that biochemical markers are useful for the assessment of high-turnover osteoporosis.

Balance disorder in FMS was stated in a few studies. Objectives To determine the effectiveness of the balance training exercise program in FMS and to find out the factors that associate with balance disorders in FMS. Methods A total of 68 patients, aged 18-65, diagnosed with FMS, joined in 6 weeks exercise program. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups. Group 1 (n=35) recieved flexibility exercises (15 min./day), balance exercises recommended by American Sport College (20 min./day) for 5 days a week and static (5min./day) and dynamic (5min./day) balance training with Kinesthetic Ability Trainer (KAT) 4000 device for 3 days a week (each one 5 min./day). Group 2 (n=33) received only flexibility program for 5 days a week. Patients were evaluated by means of balance, fall risk,functional level, quality of life and depression. Functional balance was measured by Berg Balance Scale (BBS), dynamic and static balance were assessed by Sport Kinesthetic Ability Trainer (KAT) 4000 device. Fall risk of the patients was specified by Hendrich II Fall Risk Model. Fibromiyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Nottingham Health Profile were used to determine functional level and quality of life and Beck Depression Inventory was applied to evaluate depression level. The assesments were performed at baseline and after six week at end of the exercise program. Results Exercise program was accomplished by 57 patients and there were no significant differences between group 1 (n=28, mean age=48.11±13.42) and group 2 (n=29, mean age=48.17±12.68) according to sociodemographic characteristics. In balance exercise group statistical significant improvements were observed in all parameters (p<0.05), however there was no improvement in flexibility exercise group (p>0.05) at sixth weeks. In the comparison of two groups, there were significant differences in balance group for KAT 4000 static balance (p=0.017) and FIQ measurements (p=0.005). Additionally negative correlation was shown between depression levels and BBS (r= -0.434, p<0.01), where as depression level was also correlated with fall risk (r=0.357, p<0.01). Conclusions A 6-week balance training program has found to have beneficial effect on static balance and functional level in patients with FMS, however it has no effect on dynamic and functional balance, and quality of life. It was observed that depression is correlated with balance deficit and fall risk. References Russek LN, Fulk GD. Pilot study assessing balance in women with fibromyalgia syndrome.

Even mild inflammation may result in irreversible damage and permanent disability. The clinical course according to symptoms may be either intermittent or progressive in patients with RA. In most patients, the clinical course is progressive, and structural damage develops in the first 2 years. The aim of RA management is to achieve pain relief and prevent joint damage and functional loss. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications significantly augment medical therapy by improving the management of RA and reducing handicaps in daily living for patients with RA. In this review, the application of physiotherapy modalities is examined, including the use of cold/heat applications, electrical stimulation, and hydrotherapy. Rehabilitation treatment techniques for patients with RA such as joint protection strategies, massage, exercise, and patient education are also presented.
