Comparative study on muscle-tendon stiffness and balance impairment in postmenopausal women: a focus on osteosarcopenia and osteoporosis
The OS group exhibited the lowest muscle-tendon stiffness. The GM and Achilles stiffness was positively correlated with poor performance-based balance, particularly in the ML direction. This may increase the risk of falls and subsequent hip fractures during simple daily weight- shifting activities in women with osteosarcopenia.
