Inclusion criteria defined adults with non\u2010ambulatory neuromuscular conditions and reported outcomes on bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis or fracture incidence. Screening was performed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta\u2010Analyses (PRISMA)\u2010Scoping Review guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010nine studies met the inclusion criteria. The most significant risk factor associated with bone disease was reduced weight\u2010bearing and immobility, followed by a history of past fractures and wheelchair dependence. Dual\u2010energy X\u2010ray absorptiometry was the primary diagnostic modality to assess BMD, while biochemical markers showed limited diagnostic utility. Management strategies such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation and passive bone loading demonstrated minimal efficacy. Bisphosphonate therapy was supported in specific subgroups, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy and spinal cord injury. No consensus on evidence\u2010based management was identified for the target population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current evidence to guide diagnosis and management in this population is limited. Adults with non\u2010ambulatory neuromuscular disorders represent a small, heterogeneous group with variability in disease aetiology, onset, distribution and progression. This is reflected within the sparse literature, making it challenging to stratify risk factors, establish standardised outcome measures and develop robust, evidence\u2010based strategies to improve
