Deficits in bone density and structure in children and young adults following Fontan palliation.
BACKGROUND: Survival of patients with congenital heart disease has improved such that there are now more adults than children living w...
Fractures on bisphosphonates in osteoporosis pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG): pQCT shows poor bone density and structure.
Osteoporosis pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of childhood osteoporosis and blindness due to inacti...
Re-examining the surfaces of bone in boys and girls during adolescent growth: a 12-year mixed longitudinal pQCT study.
We revisit Stanley Garn's theory related to sex differences in endocortical and periosteal apposition during adolescence using a 12-yea...
The effects of whole body vibration on static balance, spinal curvature, pain, and disability of patients with low back pain.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of whole body vibration (WBV) on static balance, spinal curvature, pain, and th...
Whole-body vibration and blood flow and muscle oxygenation: a meta-analysis.
CONTEXT: The use and popularity of whole-body vibration (WBV) has increased in recent years, but there is a lack of consensus in the li...
Acute bone response to whole body vibration in healthy pre-pubertal boys.
The skeleton responds to mechanical stimulation. We wished to ascertain the magnitude and speed of the growing skeleton's response to a...
The effects of whole body vibration on mobility and balance in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of whole-body vibration on physiologic and functional measurements in c...
Small and inconsistent effects of whole body vibration on athletic performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
PURPOSE: We quantified the acute and chronic effects of whole body vibration on athletic performance or its proxy measures in competiti...
Effects of whole body vibration on pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of whole-body vibration in enhancing pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of l...
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...
