Recovery of muscle atrophy and bone loss from 90 days bed rest: results from a one-year follow-up
Earlier studies found the recovery of bone loss after clinical immobilization to be incomplete. It has been argued that this is due to ...
Ankle Flexors Produce Peak Torque at Longer Muscle Lengths after Whole-Body Vibration
INTRODUCTION:: Whole-body vibration (WBV) has become a popular training method in recent years. This study investigated the effect of W...
An in vivo rabbit model for cartilage trauma: a preliminary study of the influence of impact stress magnitude on chondrocyte death and matrix damage
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the postimpact response of the articular cartilage in the rabbit knee after a single tra...
Asymmetric bone adaptations to soleus mechanical loading after spinal cord injury
The purpose of this report is to examine longitudinal bone mineral density (BMD) changes in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) w...
Strength indices from pQCT imaging predict up to 85% of variance in bone failure properties at tibial epiphysis and diaphysis
Our primary objective was to validate the Bone Strength Index for compression (BSIC) by determining the amount of variance in failure l...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the proximal radius in young subjects – New reference data and interpretation of results
The aim of this contribution is to provide reference data for peripheral quantitative computed tomography (Stratec XCT2000(R)) performe...
Musculoskeletal plasticity after acute spinal cord injury: effects of long-term neuromuscular electrical stimulation training
Maintaining the physiologic integrity of paralyzed limbs may be critical for those with spinal cord injury (SCI) to be viable candidate...
Contrast agent-enhanced computed tomography of articular cartilage: association with tissue composition and properties.
BACKGROUND: Contrast agent-enhanced computed tomography may enable the noninvasive quantification of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of...
Ten years muscle-bone hypothesis: What have we learned so far? -Almost a Festschrift-
The importance of mechanical stimuli for bone is widely appreciated. Mechanostat theory proposes a negative feedback system to explain ...
