Client Scenario: Chronic Disease - Osteoporosis

  • Special considerations:

RxBot In Action

We prompted RxBot with the following:

Improve aerobic base, and incorporate low-impact aerobic exercises to aid recovery. Ensure the program is designed to support activities that enhance bone density, improve balance, and increase overall strength while minimizing the risk of fractures."

RxBot's Program Summary

RxBot designed a program tailored for our client with osteoporosis:

"This 4-week training program is tailored for an older adult with osteoporosis, emphasizing strength development and motor control improvement while accommodating bone health. The client's priorities include single arm push exercises, upper body mobility, extension exercises, and isometric core work. Resistance training is designed with progressive overload principles to build strength safely, using tempos that favor muscle control and joint safety.

The program spans four key workout days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, incorporating weight-bearing exercises, mobility work, and controlled impact aerobic conditioning to enhance overall physical resilience."
