Improving balance function is considered as an important method for reducing the risk of falling after stroke and protecting bone health. Bone mineral density, a measure of bone health, has been reported to decrease after stroke, consistent with increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density and balance, functional ambulation and falls in hemiparetic patients with stroke in the subacute and chronic phases.
