Dear List,
Does anyone know of, or has anyone done any studies on Bone Density
in Lower Limb Amputees?
I'm currently doing a study on how exercise effects bone density in
trans tibial amputees, by measuring the densisty at the femoral neck
of the sound side and comparing this with the amputated side. I only
have 10 subjects so I would appreciate anything to back up my
results.
Thanks
