Abstract

Background: Primary osteoporosis refers to a disease of aging characterized by reduced bone mass, damage to bone tissue microarchitecture, and predisposition to fracture.Sling core stabilization training emphasizes activating the deep local muscles of the spine under unstable conditions, and enhancing the body's balance and control during exercise.

Case presentation: A 70-year-old female went to the Acupuncture and Rehabilitation Department due to low back pain caused by osteoporosis.The patient received sling core stabilization training three times a week based on Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation. After training, the patient's back pain was significantly relieved and insisted one year. In the physical examination of bone mineral density, the results showed that the value of bone mineral density was better than last year.The patients adhered to sling core stabilization training and observed the changes of bone mineral density every year basis on calcium and vitamin D supplementation.

Discussion: However, cases of calcium and vitamin D supplementation-based regular sling core stabilization training that improves bone density in osteoporosis patients have been rarely reported. Our group shared cases and analyzed possible mechanisms, hoping to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of primary osteoporosis.
