Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness for health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of a 3-month course of exercises for a group of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who has at least one vertebral fracture versus a control group (undertaking their usual activities). The course of exercises is devised in accordance with methods recommended in "Rehabilitation treatment guidelines in postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis".
