Abstract

This paper describes spatial and temporal distributions of bone loss in the paralysed limbs of patients during their first year after spinal cord injury (SCI). The objectives are to illustrate the inter subject variability in spatio temporal patterns of bone loss after SCI, and to explore the potential factors affecting them.
