Abstract
- Background: We assessed the impact of a 19-week exercise program on bone health in chronic stroke.<br />Results: Those who underwent the program reported significantly more gain in tibial trabecular bone content and cortical bone thickness on the affected side.<br />Conclusion: Regular exercise is thus beneficial for enhancing bone health in this population.
