Determinants of estimated failure load in the distal radius after stroke: An HR-pQCT study

Bone health is often compromised after stroke and the distal radius is a common site of fragility fractures. The macro- and mircoproperties of bone tissue after stroke and their clinical correlates are understudied. The objectives of the study were to use High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) to investigate the bone properties at the distal radius, and to identify the correlates of estimated failure load for the...
