To compare the bone mineral density of elite paraplegic basketball players with the values obtained from their paraplegic sedentary counterparts.
A total of 17 male paraplegic basketball players and 17 male paraplegic sedentary persons were included in the study. Bone mineral densities of the distal third of radius of the dominant arm, L2-L4 spine, and trochanters, Ward's triangles, and the femoral necks of both hips were measured.
The densities of trochanters, Ward's triangles, and the femoral necks were found to be decreased in both groups, with no significant difference between them. The densities of lumbar and radial regions were found to be increased in both groups. Radial density was significantly higher in paraplegic basketball players than in paraplegic sedentary patients, whereas the groups were not significantly different for lumbar density.
Wheelchair basketball in spinal cord-injured patients was associated with greater bone density in distal radius compared with sedentary paraplegics. However, it was not associated with greater density below the injury level.
比较精英截瘫篮球运动员与久坐不动的截瘫者的骨密度。
本研究共纳入17名男性截瘫篮球运动员和17名男性截瘫久坐者。测量优势臂桡骨远端三分之一、L2 - L4脊柱、大转子、沃德三角区以及双侧髋部股骨颈的骨密度。
两组的大转子、沃德三角区和股骨颈骨密度均降低，两组之间无显著差异。两组的腰椎和桡骨区域骨密度均增加。截瘫篮球运动员的桡骨密度显著高于截瘫久坐患者，而两组的腰椎密度无显著差异。
与久坐不动的截瘫者相比，脊髓损伤患者进行轮椅篮球运动与桡骨远端更高的骨密度相关。然而，这与损伤水平以下更高的骨密度无关。
