PROBLEMS IN THE PREVENTION OF OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE ASSESSMENT OF BONE DENSITY
The recommendations of the WHO suggested intervention thresholds for assessment
of fracture risks and consecutive treatment in postmeno...
Acute corticospinal and spinal modulation after whole body vibration.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate neural effects of acute whole body vibration (WBV) on lower limb muscles reg...
Reference data for jumping mechanography in Canadian children, adolescents and young adults.
OBJECTIVES: To provide age- and sex-specific reference data for mechanography-derived parameters of muscle function in Canadian childre...
Early vibration assisted physiotherapy in toddlers with cerebral palsy – a randomized controlled pilot trial.
OBJECTIVES: to investigate feasibility, safety and efficacy of home-based side-alternating whole body vibration (sWBV) to improve motor...
Effects of whole-body vibration after eccentric exercise on muscle soreness and muscle strength recovery.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not a single whole-body vibration treatment after eccentric exercise can reduce mus...
The effect of exercise and nutrition on the mechanostat.
In this review, we discuss the effect of increased and decreased loading and nutrition deficiency on muscle and bone mass and strength ...
From mechanostat theory to development of the ‘Functional Muscle-Bone-Unit’.
Bone densitometric data are often difficult to interpret in children and adolescents because of large inter- and intraindividual variat...
Reliability of parameters during stair ascent measured with Leonardo Mechanograph((R)) Stair A in healthy subjects.
OBJECTIVES: Stair climbing (SC) as daily activity is assessed with different SC-tests, but none directly measures ground reaction force...
Mechanography performance tests and their association with sarcopenia, falls and impairment in the activities of daily living – a pilot cross-sectional study in 293 older adults.
OBJECTIVES: Muscle mass and muscle power considerably decline with aging. The aim of the present study was to determine the association...
Minimal intensity physical activity (standing and walking) of longer duration improves insulin action and plasma lipids more than shorter periods of moderate to vigorous exercise (cycling) in sedentary subjects when energy expenditure is comparable.
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that excessive sitting time is associated with increased health risk, independent of the pe...
