Shocking new hope to stop bone loss in paralyzed veterans

This study tested a home-based program combining electrical muscle stimulation and vitamin D supplements to see if it could improve bone health in Veterans with long-term spinal cord injuries. The goal was to find a way to slow or reverse severe bone loss, which is a common and serious problem that leads to fractures. Researchers compared the effects of active muscle stimulation training against simple passive movement, with both groups also taking vitamin D.
