Riassunto |
Unloading of bones because of bed rest, paralysis, and immobilization results eventually in osteoporosis and fractures. This loss is particularly apparent in the trabecular compartment of weightbearing bones but includes most parts of the skeleton in its severe forms. Quantitative bone measurements can identify the site of major losses and provide a loss progression.
