Bone Abstracts

Small changes in BMD can be clinically meaningful; therefore precision-error calculations are needed to estimate true changes in BMD. The few published studies of precision errors in children with cerebral palsy (CP) are diverse in terms of ethnicities and medical comorbidities. Application of these estimates is inappropriate to our particular Midwest American ...
