20-Hz whole body vibration training fails to counteract the decrease in leg muscle volume caused by 14 days of 6 degrees head down tilt bed rest
A 6 degrees head down tilt bed rest (HDT) was used to simulate the effects of muscle unloading in space. We tested whether vibration tr...
Tibial subchondral trabecular volumetric bone density in medial knee joint osteoarthritis using peripheral quantitative computed tomography technology
OBJECTIVE: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is an organ-level failure of the joint involving pathologic changes in articular cartilage and bone...
Improved peripheral cortical bone geometry after surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism in postmenopausal women
CONTEXT: Cortical bone geometry is one of the most important components of bone strength. Excess endogenous PTH or intermittent PTH adm...
BMD and bone geometry in transtibial and transfemoral amputees
Prolonged unloading of bone(s) in the residual limb after amputation may cause significant bone loss in the hip and distal bony end of ...
Bone density, structure, and strength in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: importance of disease severity and muscle deficits

Characterising cortical density in the mid-tibia: intra-individual variation in adolescent girls and boys
BACKGROUND: Inter-individual differences in cortical bone volumetric density (CoD), such as those related to sex, are a product of diff...
Tibial bone geometry in chronic stroke patients: influence of sex, cardiovascular health, and muscle mass
This study aimed to examine the geometry of the tibia in chronic stroke survivors. Fifty-five ambulatory individuals with chronic strok...
