Reduction of hypercalciuria in tetraplegia after weight-bearing and strengthening exercises

Both weight-bearing and strengthening exercises have been thought to reduce the hypercalciuria associated with tetraplegia. In patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries and tetraplegia, tilt table exercises reduced hypercalciuria and made the calcium balance more positive particularly in the early group of patients. Strengthening exercises did not have nearly as great an effect.
