Physiotherapy rehabilitation for osteoporotic vertebral fracture —a randomised controlled trial and economic evaluation (PROVE trial)

ConclusionsAdherence was problematic. Benefits at 4  months did not persist and at 12 months, we found no significant differences between treatments. There is inadequate evidence a short physiotherapy intervention of either manual therapy or home exercise provides long-term benefits, but arguably short-term benefits are valuable.Trial registrationISRCTN 49117867.
