Most falls occur during walking; therefore an efficient obstacle avoidance performance might contribute to a reduction in fall risk. Since it was shown that persons with osteoporosis are unstable during obstacle crossing it was hypothesized that they more frequently hit obstacles, specifically under challenging conditions.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>The aim of the study was to investigate whether obstacle avoidance ability was affected in persons with osteoporosis compared to a comparison group of a community sample of older adults.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Obstacle avoidance performance was measured on a treadmill and compared between persons with osteoporosis (n = 85) and the comparison group (n = 99). The obstacle was released at different available response times (ART) to create different levels of difficulty by increasing time pressure. Furthermore, balance confidence, measured with the short ABC-questionnaire, was compared between the groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>No differences were found between the groups in success rates on the obstacle avoidance task (p = 0.173). Furthermore, the persons with osteoporosis had similar levels of balance confidence as the comparison group (p = 0.091). The level of balance confidence was not associated with the performance on the obstacle avoidance task (p = 0.145).<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Obstacle avoidance abilities were not impaired in persons with osteoporosis and they did not experience less balance confidence than the comparison group. These findings imply that persons with osteoporosis do not have an additional risk of falling because of poorer obstacle avoidance abilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2474-12-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,10]],"date-time":"2016-07-10T10:43:19Z","timestamp":1468147399000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Does osteoporosis predispose falls? a study on obstacle avoidance and balance confidence"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ellen","family":"Smulders","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wim","family":"van Lankveld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roland","family":"Laan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacques","family":"Duysens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vivian","family":"Weerdesteyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"1035_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"559","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03084348","volume":"48","author":"PJM Elders","year":"2005","unstructured":"Elders PJM, Leusink GL, Graafmans WC, Bolhuis AP, Van der Spoel OP, Van Keipema JC: Huisarts Wet. 2005, 48: 559-570. 10.1007\/BF03084348.","journal-title":"Huisarts Wet"},{"key":"1035_CR2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1761","DOI":"10.1359\/jbmr.1997.12.11.1761","volume":"12","author":"AC Looker","year":"1997","unstructured":"Looker AC, Orwoll ES, Johnston CC, Lindsay RL, Wahner HW, Dunn WL: Prevalence of low femoral bone density in older U.S. adults from NHANES III.
