Article Synopsis
- This study highlights that children with motor disabilities are more vulnerable to bone health issues, experiencing higher rates of low bone mass and fractures.
- Out of 59 children assessed, 17% had fractures, with significant findings indicating lower bone mineral density (BMD) in those who experienced fractures compared to those who did not.
- Vitamin D insufficiency and abnormal calcium levels were common, suggesting the need for regular bone health evaluations and preventive measures against osteoporosis in this population.
