Intervention on Bone Health in Wheelchair Users

NCT05615402 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 45

Summary

The low mechanical loading of bones among wheelchair users leads to an increased risk of bone fractures and associated complications due to low bone mineral density (BMD). Adding mechanical loading through physical activity in combination with optimizing nutrition may counteract these negative consequences in wheelchair users and thereby provide positive impact for bone health, as well as for physical and mental health.

In this project, a multidisciplinary team will tailor a bone-specific exercise and nutrition program to increase BMD in sport active and non-active wheelchair users with initial low BMD.
