Concern for bone fragility in children and adolescents has led to increased interest in bone
densitometry. Pediatric patients with genetic and acquired chronic diseases, immobility, and …

Aim The aim of this systematic review was to inform evidence‐based clinical practice
guidelines for children with cerebral palsy (CP) and low bone mineral density (BMD) …

Although many children sustain at least one fracture during growth, the majority do not,
suggesting it is not the norm for healthy children to break their bones. Most childhood …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the natural history of “growth” in bone mineral density (BMD) in
children and adolescents with moderate to severe cerebral palsy (CP). STUDY DESIGN: A …

The human fossil record is one of the most complete for any mammal. A basal ancestral
species, Australopithecus afarensis, exhibits a well-preserved postcranium that permits …

Prematurity, an important risk factor for cerebral palsy, is not diminishing. Critical steps in
development of the cortical brain occur between the 22nd and 36th weeks after conception …

Aim Children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk for developing low bone mineral
density (BMD) and low‐impact fractures. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic …

Undernutrition, growth failure, overweight, micronutrient deficiencies, and osteopenia are
nutritional comorbidities that affect the neurologically impaired child. Monitoring …

Background Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) are at an increased risk for age-related
morbidities due to functional impairments, maladapted growth, and altered body …

Threats to bone health are increasingly a pediatric concern. Genetic or acquired disorders
can compromise gains in bone quantity and quality, leading to skeletal fragility early in life. 1 …
