| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Number of patients with osteoporosis-related limb fractures has been increased and the incidence has been also increased with time in Tottori Prefecture. Less than one third in fragility fracture patients were treated by osteoporosis medication after the fracture. End stage knee osteoarthritis patients showed high fall risk and foot deformity was defined as an independent risk factor for fall. Muscle power of knee extension and gait speed correlated with fear for fall. Functional electrical stimulator was used to improve gait in healthy elderly; however, no significant change was observed. Removable stride-assist device improved step length, walking rate, and cadence in the middle-aged women. Bisphosphonate of usual dose did not reduce bone formation and newly developed active vitamin D3 of high dose elevated bone formation in a rat model using 4-point bending device.
