Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterised by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility. Fractures and their complications are the clinical manifestations of osteoporosis. Physical therapy in the prevention and the rehabilitation of osteoporosis should be aimed to promote bone mass, to improve mobility, agility and physical skill, and to relieve pain. Weight bearing exercises and improvement of posture stability and motor control seem to be an effective therapy. Other treatment modalities, i.e. electrotherapy or therapeutic heat, should be applied in addition only.
骨质疏松症是一种全身性骨骼疾病，其特征为骨量低和骨组织微结构恶化，进而导致骨脆性增加。骨折及其并发症是骨质疏松症的临床表现。骨质疏松症预防和康复中的物理治疗应旨在增加骨量、改善活动能力、敏捷性和身体技能，并缓解疼痛。负重锻炼以及改善姿势稳定性和运动控制似乎是一种有效的治疗方法。其他治疗方式，如电疗法或温热疗法，仅应作为辅助应用。
