Effect of age and sex on jumping mechanography and other measures of muscle mass and function.
OBJECTIVES: Sarcopenia increases falls and fracture risk. Sarcopenia clinical trials require robust quantitative tools to evaluate musc...
Posture Monitor for Vibration Exercise Training
Falls and fall-related fractures are common in the elderly and lead to negative health outcomes. Muscle function and balance impairment...
Vibration Therapy to Prevent Bone Loss and Falls: Mechanisms and Efficacy.
A considerable volume of evidence has accumulated to suggest that whole-body vibration (WBV) may have a therapeutic role to play in the...
Reliability of parameters during stair ascent measured with Leonardo Mechanograph((R)) Stair A in healthy subjects.
OBJECTIVES: Stair climbing (SC) as daily activity is assessed with different SC-tests, but none directly measures ground reaction force...
Mechanography performance tests and their association with sarcopenia, falls and impairment in the activities of daily living – a pilot cross-sectional study in 293 older adults.
OBJECTIVES: Muscle mass and muscle power considerably decline with aging. The aim of the present study was to determine the association...
Effects of complementary whole-body vibration training in patients after lung transplantation: A randomized, controlled trial.
BACKGROUND: In recent years, some studies have shown that whole-body vibration training (WBVT) may be a beneficial training mode in pat...
Deviations of frequency and the mode of vibration of commercially available whole-body vibration training devices.
AIM: Research in the field of whole body vibration (WBV) training and the use of it in practice might be hindered by the fact that WBV...
Bone density and neuromuscular function in older competitive athletes depend on running distance.
Individuals who are involved in explosive sport types, such as 100-m sprints and long jump, have greater bone density, leg muscle size...
Impact of Long-Term Exposure to the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Imatinib on the Skeleton of Growing Rats.
The tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor imatinib provides a highly effective therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) via inhibition of th...
Reduced bone strength and muscle force in women 27 years after anorexia nervosa.
CONTEXT: A substantial body of research findings indicate that muscle mass and bone mass are reduced in populations of anorexic females...
