Changes in Mobility and Muscle Function of Children with Cerebral Palsy after Gait Training: A Pilot Study.

abstract：:Maintenance of healthy bone mineral density (BMD) is important for preventing fractures in older adults. Strains experienced by bone in vivo stimulate remodeling processes, which can increase or decrease BMD. However, there has been little study of age differences in bone strains. This study examined the relative cont...
