Scores on the Safe Functional Motion test predict incident vertebral compression fracture
Abstract
The Safe Functional Motion test (SFM) was developed to document movement strategies used to perform everyday activities that may increase the risk for osteoporotic fracture. After adjusting for variables known to predict vertebral compression fracture (VCF), baseline score on the SFM was a significant independent predictor of incident VCF at 1- and 3-year follow-ups.IntroductionFunctional movements may contribute to risk for VCF. We hypothesize …
