Abstract

|
|
Objectives : This review aims to assess the effect of Wuqinxi exercise for osteoporosis.
Methods : We searched 9 electronic databases(Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CAJ, Oasis, KISS, NDSL, KMBASE, KISTI) and related 2 journals until November 2017. We included randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of testing Wuqinxi exercise for osteoporosis. The methodological quality of RCTs related assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool.
Results : 12 RCTs were eligible in our inclusion criteria. No statistical differences were found between the Wuqinxi versus no intervention, Wuqinxi plus antiosteoporosis medications versus antiosteo-porosis medications on lumbar spine, femora bone mineral density (BMD). However, Wuqinxi significantly improved lumbar spine BMD compared with antiosteoporosis medications (P < 0.00001). Additionally, the results showed a remarkable effect in improving pain score(VAS) when Wuqinxi or Wuqinxi plus antiosteoporosis medications (P < 0.0005) was used.
Conclusions : There is evidence of Wuqinxi exercise for osteoporosis with meta-analysis. However, our systematic review has limited evidence to support Wuqinxi exercise for osteoporosis. because of low quality of original articles and further well-designed RCTs should be encouraged.
