Investigates relationships between bone density and body composition in spina bifida patients, suggesting implications for treatment strategies.
Objectives: Several tools are available for the assessment and classification of lesion level in spina bifida (SB) patients. This study aimed to quantitatively investigate potential relationships that lesion level and mobility style may have with bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in both lower and upper limbs using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans in patients with SB.
