This article provides physical therapists with current information about osteopo-rosis. I describe the epidemiology and etiology of the condition and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of measurement techniques used to detect and quantify bone mass. I outline methods of retarding or preventing osteoporosis and present management and treatment techniques that can be used with people who already have the condition.
