| Abstract |
Low back muscles exercise reportedly influence the risk of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The exact relationship between the low back muscles exercise and the incidence of vertebral refractures remain unclear. To investigate the ability of exercise to strengthen the low back muscles to prevent vertebral refracture after surgery, through clinical analysis of the vertebral fracture risk reduction program. In total 152 patients with vertebral fractures who had undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and anti-osteoporosis treatment were randomly divided into observation and control groups. The observation group performed exercises to strengthen the back muscles after surgery. The clinical efficacy and incidence of re-fractures were compared between groups. The observation group had reduced physical dysfunction and pain following surgery. After 3 months, the vertebral body height had significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in the control group but not in the observation group (P > 0.05). In the observation and control groups, the incidence of vertebral refractures was 9.2% (7/76) and 17.1% (13/76), respectively (P < 0.05). Postoperative exercise to strengthen the back muscles can improve physical function, relieve pain and promote the recovery of vertebral height; it can also assist in maintaining bone density, thereby significantly reducing the risk of refracture. This approach is safe and effective and can help improve the quality of life in patients with vertebral fractures. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 June 2022.
All research outputs
#14,605,790
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Die Orthopädie
#171
of 678 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#169,634
of 339,645 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Orthopädie
#3
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 678 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 339,645 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
