PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 0, 16, 29 and 43 weeks

Population: The only participant in the Stanford-of-Care Control group self-withdrew after 12 weeks of participation, after having a baseline measurement and one other bone density measurement. The participant in the Experienced FES-Rower group was only measured at baseline.

Bone mineral density at the distal femur at 0, 16, 29 and 43 weeks measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography scanning.
