Study Details

The Functional Muscle-Bone Incongruity Index (FKUI) is a novel approach developed to evaluate the relationship between muscle function and bone health. This prospective observational study aims to investigate the clinical applicability of FKUI, which combines handgrip strength, total hip bone mineral density (BMD), and lumbar-hip BMD discordance. Approximately 200 adult participants undergoing routine DXA assessment will be enrolled. The study will examine whether the combined evaluation of muscle function and bone health parameters provides a more comprehensive assessment of musculoskeletal status than individual measures alone.

Arms

  • Arm: Adults Undergoing Bone Mineral Density Evaluation
    Adult patients attending the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic and undergoing routine DXA assessment as part of clinical evaluation. Participants will undergo handgrip strength measurement and assessment of bone mineral density parameters. The Functional Muscle-Bone Incongruity Index (FKUI) will be evaluated using handgrip strength, total hip bone mineral density, and lumbar-hip bone mineral density discordance. No treatment or interventional procedure will be administered.
