Aim: To determine the relationship between bone mineralization and functional activity level of paraplegic patients in short-term after spinal cord injury (SCI). Material and Methods: Thirty paraplegic patients and twentynine healthy controls were admitted to this study. Bone mineral density (BMD) and Z-scores, together with serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxyvitamin-D levels, urinary calcium and deoxypyridinoline excretion were measured. All patients underwent a rehabilitation program including range of motion and progressive resistance exercises, upper body ergometry exercises, standing training with long leg orthosis, wheelchair ambulation or walking either by orthosis or walking aids five times/week during hospitalization. Results: There was no difference between the groups regarding BMD values and Z-scores. Mean serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were lower (p=0.016 and p |
