Article Synopsis
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to rapid bone loss due to decreased physical activity and muscle mass, making it a significant health concern.
- Current treatments like physical therapy and osteoporosis medications have proven largely ineffective in maintaining bone density for individuals with SCI, implying a unique bone deterioration process.
- The review discusses methods for assessing bone loss and fractures, explores both physical and drug treatments for SCI-related bone issues, and highlights the need for further research in this area.
