DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5796080
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Lower extremity weight bearing is a key determinant in maintaining bone density and strength. Approximately 60% of individuals with chronic spinal cord injury use a wheelchair long-term as their primary mode of locomotion—leading to… read more here.
