Cessation of ambulation results in a dramatic loss of trabecular bone density in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
Abstract
Glucocorticoids are currently used to improve muscle strength and prolong ambulation in boys with DMD although the effect on bone health is still unclear. The aim of this study was to compare bone strength in healthy children and boys with DMD and investigate the interaction between diminished muscle function, loss of ambulation and high dose oral steroids, over a two year time frame. Fifty children were studied, 14 healthy boys (HB), 13 boys...
