Bone density and Amputees

JULIE

Dear List,

Does anyone know of, or has anyone done any studies on Bone Density

in Lower Limb Amputees?

I’m currently doing a study on how exercise effects bone density in

trans tibial amputees, by measuring the densisty at the femoral neck

of the sound side and comparing this with the amputated side. I only

have 10 subjects so I would appreciate anything to” back up” my

results.

Thanks
