Article Synopsis
- Bone mineral density significantly decreases after spinal cord injuries, starting soon after paralysis begins and accelerating rapidly.
- A variety of factors contribute to this bone loss, including mechanical, neurological, hormonal, blood vessel-related, and medication influences.
- Dual x-ray absorptiometry is a cost-effective method to measure bone density changes, and while treatments exist to help prevent or reverse bone loss, their effectiveness can vary.
