Abstract

Bone mass of distal radius and the first metatalsal bone of the 51 patients with spinal cord injury was estimated by bone mineral analizer.
The bone mineral content of lower radius showed no significant diffirence between the normals and the spinal cord injured including of the cervical cord injured. Bone mineral content of the first metatalsal bone had been decreasing, but it ceased in about 3 years after injury.
