  • Title: Effect of exercise on the bone mineral density and bone remodelling indices in women with rheumatoid arthritis: 2 case studies.
    Author: Allen SH, Minor MA, Hillman LS, Kay DR.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1993 Jul; 20(7):1247-9. PubMed ID: 8371231.
    Abstract:
    Two premenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis of 16 years' duration were enrolled in a one year conditioning exercise program consisting of walking and low impact aerobics. The effect of exercise on the markers of bone formation (serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin), bone resorption (urinary calcium/creatine and serum tartrate resistant acid phosphatase), and vertebral bone mineral density as determined by dual photon absorptiometry are discussed.
