Osteoporosis

Last changed on 05 October 2023 - 13:49

Osteoporosis is recognised as a major public health problem due to its close association with fractures in individuals over the age of 50, with potentially serious physical and psychological consequences and an associated increased risk of death.

In particular, hemiparetic patients are at high risk of developing osteoporosis, and are more predisposed to a higher risk of falls and fractures.
