High-volume FES-cycling partially reverses bone loss in people with chronic spinal cord injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe bone loss in the paralysed limbs and to a resulting increased fracture risk thereof. Since lon...
Trabecular structure quantified with the MRI-based virtual bone biopsy in postmenopausal women contributes to vertebral deformity burden independent of areal vertebral BMD
In postmenopausal women with a wide range of vertebral deformities, MRI-based structural measures of topology and scale at the distal r...
Results of a prospective pilot trial on mobility after whole body vibration in children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta
