Influence of puberty on muscle development at the forearm
Despite its fundamental importance for physical development, the growth of the muscle system has received relatively little considerati...
Prediction of strength of cortical bone in vitro by microcomputed tomography
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of bone mineral density and intracortical porosity measured by mi...
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography at the distal radius: cross-calibration between two scanners
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is an important technique to study the interaction between the muscle and bone syste...
Comparison of bone parameters by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography in Hutterite vs. non-Hutterite women aged 35-60 years
A previous report of elevated dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) bone mineral density (BMD) Z scores suggests that Hutterite female...
Estimation of the architectural properties of cortical bone using peripheral quantitative computed tomography
We assessed the volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and cross-sectional architecture of cortical bone at the distal radius by periph...
Bone-muscle strength indices for the human lower leg
This cross-sectional study is based on images from the lower leg as assessed by peripheral quantitative computer tomography (pQCT). Mea...
Contributions of bone density and geometry to the strength of the human second metatarsal
We investigated, at the whole bone level, the contribution of bone density and geometry to the fracture load of the second metatarsal, ...
Exercise-induced bone gain is due to enlargement in bone size without a change in volumetric bone density: a peripheral quantitative computed tomography study of the upper arms of male tennis players
Bilateral bone characteristics of the humerus (proximal, shaft, and distal sites) and radius (shaft and distal sites) in 12 former Finn...
The ‚muscle-bone unit‘ in children and adolescents: a 2000 overview
In former views hormones, calcium, vitamin D and other humoral and nonmechanical agents dominated control of postnatal bone strength (a...
