The aims of this study were to: (i) Determine if there were significant bone mineral density and muscle strength differences between intact and amputated limbs, and (ii) investigate the possible relationship between local bone loss and muscle strength in transtibial amputees. Fifteen male veterans with traumatic unilateral transtibial amputations who ranged in age from 18–45 years were included in this prospective study. Lower limb muscle strength was measured with an isokinetic dynamometer. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to determine bone mineral density of the femur and tibia. The bone mineral density values of the femur and tibia were found significantly decreased on the amputated side. Significant decreases ( p < 0.001) in strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings were observed in the amputated limb. There was a weak correlation between quadriceps strength and total femur bone mineral density ( p = 0.048, r = 0.518) on the amputated limb. Transtibial amputees are prone to bone mineral loss and muscle strength decrease on the amputated side. Our results also indicate that muscle strength itself might not be of decisive importance for bone mass in transtibial amputees.

Menopausal Women

Introduction. The onset of the menopause entails numerous changes, both physical and mental, in the functioning of the bodies of women. Moreover, the early menopause increases the risk of occurrence of many civilization-related diseases. Major factors contributing to health deficits include lowered bone mineral density and sarcopenia, which can result in serious functional limitations and the acceleration of ageing processes in the body. The aim of this study was to determine how the menopause onset age is linked with bone mineral density and the strength of selected muscles of the limbs and the trunk. Material and Methods. 756 women aged 50-80 years were subjected to tests. The subjects were divided into three groups: (I) from 50 to 59 years, (II) from 60 to 69 years, and (III) from 70 to 79 years. Each of the women specified the age when her final menstrual period occurred. On this basis, groups of women with (1) the early menopause—before the 50th year of life—and (2) with the late menopause—after the 50th year of life—were distinguished. Bone mineral density (BMD), dominant hand grip strength, knee extensor and flexor strength, and functional upper and lower body muscle strength were determined in each of the women. Results. The test results indicate differences in levels of muscle strength and BMD between the 50-year-old early- and late-menopausal women. The late-menopausal women score better motor ability test results and higher BMD values. The differences decrease in the groups of 60-year-old women, whereas the 70-year-old early- and late-menopausal women score similar results. Conclusions. A higher percentage of women with a lowered bone mass and a lower strength level was found in the group of early-menopausal subjects. The rate of decline in hand grip strength, the functional efficiency of the upper and lower limbs, and BMD is faster in the late-menopausal women, whereby the two groups of 70-year-old women score similar test results.
