Abstract

Vertebral fractures are often the first manifestation of osteoporotic disease and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are key risk factors for osteoporo¬tic vertebrae fractures, both of which can be treated physical exercise. The importance of the effect of load on osteogenic stimulation, as well as muscle strengthening are explained and debated in this article. It is currently considered that physical exercise, adapted to each patient, is effective in preventing osteoporotic vertebral fractures and can reduce its incidence by up to 50%. We present a set of recommendations for exercise programs and the mechanisms by which they may be used for muscle and bone stimulation in this context.
