Muscle Density and Bone Quality of the Distal Lower Extremity Among Individuals with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Understanding the related fates of muscle density and bone quality after chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) is an important initial step in determining endocrine-metabolic risk.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations between muscle density and indices of bone quality at the distal lower extremity of adults with chronic SCI.
