Exploring changes in bone mass in individuals with a chronic spinal cord injury
Abstract
People experience rapid bone loss shortly after a spinal cord injury (SCI), but the long-term bone changes are yet to be confirmed. This study showed that trabecular bone may have reached a steady state, whereas cortical bone continued to decline in people with a chronic SCI (mean time post injury: 15.5 ± 10 years).Introduction(1) To explore changes in bone [primary measure: trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD); secondary measures: …
