| Popis: | Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common disability in the pediatric population. Children with CP have multiple risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis. BMD can be assessed through some methods, such as double-energy X-ray absorptiometry, quantitative computed tomography (QCT), peripheral QCT, high-resolution pQCT, quantitative ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or simple films (radiogrammetry). Each of these techniques has advantages and disadvantages. There are some factors that can affect BMD status in children with CP; the most important of them are the nutritional status, the type of CP, the severity of the CP, feeding method, and sun exposure because of its impact on vitamin D status. |
