Clinical Trial Summary

Chemotherapy can damage bone marrow and therefore impair the production of white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells with the resulting anemia and osteoporosis.

Description:

Purposes of this study were: 1. To determine the therapeutic efficacy of the whole-body vibration (WBV) in improving osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months. 2. To determine the therapeutic efficacy of the weight bearing exercise in improving osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months. 3. To gain knowledge about the whole-body vibration (WBV) and the weight bearing exercise in improving osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months. 4. To share in designing an ideal protocol for the treatment of the osteoporosis in breast cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy within 3-6 months.

• Breast Neoplasms
• Osteoporosis

Intervention

Other:
• Whole body vibration group
Whole body vibration apparatus (model Power plate -my5tm, made in United States) with frequency 30 - 40 Hz was used for the whole body vibration program by reciprocating vertical displacements on the left and right side of a fulcrum.
• Weight bearing exercises
Electronic treadmill Kettler- marathon model No 7899-800, made in Germany (as form of weight bearing exercises), which was adjusted to the subject's comfortable walking speed. Generally, during the treadmill training, its speed and inclination are electronically adjusted, and it is also provided with a control panel to display the exercise parameters. It allows for the comfortable running without joint or back pains through a perfect combination between aluminium-pertinax running deck, shock absorbers and overall shock-damping design.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assessing the change in bone mineral density	By using DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry): Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a clinically proven method of measuring bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine, proximal femur, forearm, and whole body. It is used primarily in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis and other disease states characterized by abnormal BMD, as well as to monitor response to therapy for these conditions .	at baseline and after 2 months of intervention
