Are weight shifting and dynamic control strategies different in postmenopausal women with and without type-I osteoporosis?

Tracking postural control processes at dynamic conditions might help develop an appropriate rehabilitation program in osteoporotic women. This study aimed to investigate the differences in center of pressure (COP) control at weight shifting and dynamic tasks between postmenopausal women with and without type-I osteoporosis. Also, we investigated the correlations between bone mineral density (BMD), the activity-specific balance confidence questionnaire (ABC-Q) score, and postural control parameters. A total of 62 volunteer postmenopausal women participated in this study. The participants were classified into non-osteoporotic (NOP, T-score >1, n = 35, age = 60.04± 5.33 years) and osteoporotic (OP, T-score
