As life expectancy increases after stroke, skeletal consequences become increasingly important, and patients at risk of fracture require identification. We have investigated peripheral bone mineral density (BMD) measurement at the heel as a possible surrogate for hip dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measurement and we have related bone loss over 52 weeks to balance and mobility.
