Clinical Characteristics and Bone Mineral Density Score in Post-Stroke Neuromuscular Deficit

Tables

Table 1. Example of Delta BMD Calculation Using Data of Age and Stroke Onset
 
A 55-year-old man with a history of stroke 18 months before examination
BMD: bone mineral density.
Delta BMD of wrists= -0.205 + 0.009 × (onset of hemiparesis in months) + 0.002 × (age in years)
= -0.205 + 0.009 × 18 + 0.002 × 55
= 0.067 adjusted R squared 48.6%
Delta BMD of hip= 0.053 + 0.010 × (onset of hemiparesis in months)
= 0.053 + 0.010 × 18
= 0.233 adjusted R squared 61.4%
