- Abstract
Patients with stroke have a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of hip fracture compared to the general population, because of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) on the paretic side and the high incidence of accidental falls. However, the relationship between BMD and stroke-related motor impairment and functional mobility is not known. The purpose of this study was to investigate these relationships.
