Precision of the XCT 3000 and comparison of densitometric measurements in distal radius scans between XCT 3000 and XCT 2000 peripheral quantitative computed tomography scanners.
Researchers conducting longitudinal studies face challenges as technology evolves and data collection equipment is upgraded from older ...
Assessment of material, structural, and functional properties of the human skeleton by pQCT systems
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) systems measure bone parameters noninvasively using low radiation doses. This limits...
Bone mineral density alterations in upper and lower extremities 12 months after stroke measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography and DXA.
To evaluate the loss of trabecular and cortical bone mineral density (BMD) and geometric parameters of bone strength expressed by stres...
Influence of weight reduction on muscle performance and bone mass, structure and metabolism in obese premenopausal women.
Muscle performance, body composition and bone mass at the lumbar spine and proximal femur with DXA, structural traits at the tibia and ...
Fitness efficacy of vibratory exercise compared to walking in postmenopausal women
In this study, we compared the efficacy of 8 months of low-frequency vibration and a walk-based program in health-related fitness. Twen...
Platform accelerations of three different whole-body vibration devices and the transmission of vertical vibrations to the lower limbs
Physical whole-body vibration (WBV) exercises become available at various levels of intensity. In a first series of measurements, we in...
Habitual throwing and swimming correspond with upper limb diaphyseal strength and shape in modern human athletes.
Variation in upper limb long bone cross-sectional properties may reflect a phenotypically plastic response to habitual loading patterns...
Intensity, repetitiveness, and directionality of habitual adolescent mobility patterns influence the tibial diaphysis morphology of athletes.
Mobility patterns affect the loads placed on the lower limbs during locomotion and may influence variation in lower limb diaphyseal rob...
Study of bone density by pQCT analysis in healthy adults and patients with B-thalassemia major and intermedia
BACKGROUND: Bone changes are a prominent symptom of beta-thalassemias, related to expansion of bone marrow and reduction of bone densit...
