Fig. 1: Flow of subjects through the study. R = randomization.
Fig. 2: Percent change over 20 weeks for static balance score, dynamic balance (as figure-eight velocity) and knee extension strength for control and intervention groups. Bars represent standard errors. Asterisks indicate significant differences from the control group ( p < 0.05). The mean values have been adjusted for the following covariates: for static balance score, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis; for figure-eight velocity, age, physical activity and years of estrogen use; and for knee extension strength, activity, cognitive status (as mini-mental state score) and lifetime number of fractures.
