Kids is a unique program developed by Pindel to help the optimal development of your children, through a complete bone and body evaluation study
The final diagnosis that we deliver to you reflects the reassurance that your little patient is developing adequately skeletally and muscularly, with a low risk of fractures, or is diagnosed with a primary, secondary, or mixed muscle disease of the bone. How do these diagnoses affect? In harmonic longitudinal growth (growth) and harmonic transverse growth (density / prevention of fractures), as well as in a balance between muscle and bone development (long-term body health. With the results, the pediatrician and parents can take corrective measures early for better bone and muscle development of the child / youth.
For its part, PINDEL has developed pediatric research protocols for 8 years with CRIT (TELETON Foundation), CINVESTAV and UAM Xochimilco, as well as offering its services privately.
Therefore, the evaluation of Bone Mineral Density together with Body Composition by DXA from 5 to 19 years of age constitutes one of the fundamental pillars in the prevention of muscle and joint injuries and fractures from childhood.
