Abstract Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is a vital tool for assessing bone health in
patients at risk for fragility fractures. In pediatric patients, this technology is used in …

Many children and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) have diminished bone mineral
density (BMD) and a propensity to fracture with minimal trauma. The aim of this study was to …

Background Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have decreased strength, low bone mass,
and an increased propensity to fracture. High-frequency, low-magnitude vibration might …

Fractures in children with cerebral palsy (CP) constitute a common clinical problem. The
purpose of this retrospective study is to analyze the demographics, identify risk factors, and …

Vitamin D plays a vital role in regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism and
maintaining bone health. A state of prolonged or profound vitamin D deficiency (VDD) can …

Aim: To investigate micronutrient status in a group of children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Methods: Thirty‐six children with CP, aged 1.5–17 years, completed a 4‐day food diary …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a new physiotherapy
concept on bone density, muscle force and motor function in bilateral spastic cerebral palsy …

Background: Accurate prediction equations for estimating body composition and total energy
expenditure (TEE) in children with severe neurologic impairment and intellectual disability …

Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in childhood is a risk factor for osteoporosis in later
life. This case–control study determined the prevalence of low BMD, calcium intake and …

Aim This purpose of our study was to assess and compare anthropometric measures of
adiposity and direct measurement of percentage body fat by dual emission X‐ray …
