Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with a marked and rapid sublesional bone loss. So far, reports about the time course of adaptive...
Is a school-based physical activity intervention effective for increasing tibial bone strength in boys and girls
This 16-month randomized, controlled school-based study compared change in tibial bone strength between 281 boys and girls participatin...
Males have larger skeletal size and bone mass than females, despite comparable body size
Gender differences in fractures may be related to body size, bone size, geometry, or density. We studied this in 18-year-old males (n =...
Is muscle power output a key factor in the age-related decline in physical performance? A comparison of muscle cross section, chair-rising test and jumping power
Ageing compromises locomotor capacity and is associated with an increased risk of falls. Several lines of evidence indicate that both c...
Relationship between the duration of paralysis and bone structure: a pQCT study of spinal cord injured individuals
The aim of the present study was to describe bone loss of the separate compartments of trabecular and cortical bone, as well as changes...
Estrogen and bone-muscle strength and mass relationships
The largest voluntary loads on bones come from muscles. To adapt bone strength and mass to them, special strain threshold ranges determ...
Mechanography–a new device for the assessment of muscle function in pediatrics
The development of the musculoskeletal system in children and adolescents became an important topic in the field of pediatric research ...
Determinants of musculoskeletal frailty and the risk of falls in old age
Neuromuscular parameters that describe locomotion are indispensable variables for the diagnosis and treatment of frailty, fall risk and...
