Calf muscle x-ray absorption is reduced in patients with chronic spinal cord injury, but not during 90 days of experimental bed rest
BACKGROUND:
Immobilisation leads to muscular atrophy. However, certain types of immobilisation, such as e.g. denervation can also caus...
Prevention of bone loss during 56 days of strict bed rest by side-alternating resistive vibration exercise
Bed rest is a recognized model for muscle atrophy and bone loss in space flight and in clinical medicine. We hypothesized that whole bo...
Age-Related Changes in Physical Function in Community-Dwelling People Aged 50-79 Years
We aimed to obtain the mean values for physical function tests in healthy community-dwelling people aged 50-79 years and to compare the...
The effects of whole-body vibration training in aging adults: a systematic review
