Clinical Trial: Radiographic Cortical Thickness of the Humerus in Detecting Post-Stroke Regional Bone Loss

U.S., June 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07651306) titled 'Radiographic Cortical Thickness of the Humerus in Detecting Post-Stroke Regional Bone Loss' on June 10.

Brief Summary: Post-stroke immobilization and reduced weight-bearing frequently lead to significant regional bone mineral density loss and asymmetry, particularly in the paretic upper extremity, which increases fracture risks. While Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for evaluating systemic bone loss, it primarily focuses on axial or lower extremity sites and lacks universal accessibility. Since routine shoulder radiographs offer an opportunistic screening tool to evaluate regional bone quality without add...
