Abstract Background: Osteoporosis in males is a severe condition undiagnosed, undertreated and sometimes aggravated by fractures of fragility and their associated morbidity and mortality. Male osteoporosis is mostly secondary, with the most likely causes including the use of corticosteroids, excessive alcohol consumption and hypo-gonadism, androgen suppression therapy used for treatment for prostate cancer. Method: A 31- year old man reported three month period of aggravating lower back pain. System analysis was noteworthy for significantly delayed puberty and found that he has undergone testosterone injections which begin at the age of 16 years. On examination, he was a very well nourished man with apparent discomfort at the assessment due to pain at the lower thoracic and lumbar spine region. Later he was diagnosed as osteoporotic after serum calcium analysis. This study was conducted to assess the improvement in patient after the physiotherapy intervention along with calcium and vitamin D3 supplements. Physiotherapy intervention was given for successive 16 weeks period for 3-4 days per week whereas calcium supplements were given. Result: The primary outcome quality of life was measured by short film-36 questionnaire and fall risk was measured with functional reach test. Functional capacity and endurance was assessed using 6 minute walk test. This study showed significant improvement in quality of life, strength and functional capacity; mobility after physiotherapy intervention along with calcium and vitamin D3 supplementation. Discussion: This study will strengthen the improvement in condition of osteoporotic male with the delivery of physiotherapy intervention comprises of postural taping, exercises such as partial weight bearing, progressive resistive exercises and low velocity mobilization. Conclusion: Male Osteoporotic patient taking calcium along with physiotherapy showed an improvement in the total quality of life. , Keywords: Male osteoporosis; physiotherapy; mobility; quality of life
