The intervention was performed twice a week for 12 weeks, each session lasting 45–60 mins and consisted of balance, strength and jumping exercises. Static balance and functional mobility was measured by one-leg stance (OLS) and timed up and go test (TUG). Upper and lower limb strength was evaluated by the arm curl test (ACT) and the 30-s chair stand test (CST) whereas gait speed was measured by the 6 m walking test (WT). Fear of falling was measured using the Falls Efficacy Scale – International (FES-I). BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and femoral neck using Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Results: Significant interactions (group x time) were found for all parameters (p<0.001) except for BMD, measured at the lumbar spine (p=0.064) and femoral neck (p=0.073). All test parameters of balance and functional mobility tests (OLS, TUG), strength tests (ACT, CST), WT, FES-I and BMD (femoral neck) showed significant improvement in the IG (p<0.05).Conclusion: The combined 12-week intervention was highly effective in improving balance and functional mobility, strength, gait performance and fear of falling in patients with osteopenia.Keywords: osteopenia, fracture risk, risk of falling, bone mineral density, mini-trampoline, training interventionPosch MSchranz ALener MTecklenburg KBurtscher MRuedl GNiedermeier MWlaschek WDove Medical Pressarticleosteopeniafracture riskrisk of fallingbone mineral densitymini-trampolinetraining intervention;GeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 14, Pp 2281-2293 (2019)
