Journal of Research and Practice on the Musculoskeletal System JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND PRACTICE ON THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM Proceedings Abstracts of the Panhellenic Conference of the Hellenic Osteoporosis Foundation 13th-15th September 2019, Volos, Greece Organizer: George Kapetanos Emeritus Professor of Orthopaedics, Faculty of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece President of Hellenic Osteoporosis Foundation SARCOPENIA-FALLS AND HIP FRACTURES issue. Reduction in physical function can lead to loss of Styliani Papakosta independence, need for hospital and long-term nursing “ΕΥ PRATTEIN- KENTAVROS” & ΕΛ.Ε.Π.Α.Π. Volou Rehabilitation home care and premature death. Prevention of sarcopenia Center, Greece and falls includes exercises, cognitive and physical training, dietary and psychological support. Additional Sarcopenia is the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle research, preferably by means of controlled randomized mass, quality, strength and functionality associated with trials, is needed to confirm these findings. aging. It is a component of the frailty syndrome. Severity of sarcopenia is associated with postural balance and falls especially among community older people. Falls of A COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT OF SARCOPENIA elderly people cause severe injuries such as femoral neck AND BONE LOSS - OSTEOSARCOPENIA SCHOOL fracture and can lead the patient to become bed-ridden. Frailty, sarcopenia and falls are strongly correlated and Yannis Dionyssiotis st both are predictors of negative health outcomes such 1 Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Department, National as falls, disability, hospitalization and death. Multiple Rehabilitation Center EKA-KAT, Athens, Greece factors contribute collectively to frailty, sarcopenia and In older persons, the combination of osteopenia/ falls, which include cellular and tissue changes, as well osteoporosis and sarcopenia - known as osteosarcopenia as environmental and behavioral factors. Potentially - has been proposed as a subset of frailer individuals at treatable social factors are alcoholism, inability to shop, higher risk of institutionalization, falls, and fractures. prepare and cook meals or to feed self, poverty, social Osteosarcopenic patients have very particular clinical, isolation etc. Common medical factors are sensory biochemical, diagnostic, and functional characteristics impairment - vision/hearing, poorly managed pain, that could be identified in clinical practice. In addition, especially lower limb pain, thyroid disease, cardiac failure, new therapies targeting both muscle and bone are gastrointestinal disease affecting absorption, poorer BMD being developed. In this session, a clinical definition and bone architecture, lack of vitamin D. More difficult of osteosarcopenia aiming to describe the clinical, to treat are cognition - dementia, catabolism, gastritis, functional, and biochemical features that are unique cancer, mood- depression, paranoia, medications/ to these patients will be presented. The use of imaging polypharmacy. Measures of muscle strength and physical combined with functional assessments for the diagnosis function may help discriminate the risk of falls-related of osteosarcopenia will be discussed. In addition, we hospitalization. For patient assessment muscle mass will analyze preventive measures and therapeutic (BIA, DXA, anthropometry), muscle strength (handgrip interventions that can benefit both muscle and bone strength, knee flexion/ extension, peak expiratory flow) simultaneously. We intend to go over the translational and physical performance (Short Physical Performance aspects of sarcopenia and osteoporosis research and Battery, usual gait speed, timed get up and go test) can highlight expected outcomes from different interventions be used. As the number of older people increases, their for both conditions. Finally, the new holistic concept called needs will become an increasingly important health Osteosarcopenia school will be presented.
