Due to the increasing burden on healthcare budgets of musculoskeletal system disease and
injury, there is a growing need for safe, effective and simple therapies. Conditions such as …

A cell's ability to recognize and adapt to the physical environment is central to its survival
and function, but how mechanical cues are perceived and transduced into intracellular …

Objective: To investigate the effect of externally applied cyclical (vibratory) forces on the rate
of tooth movement, the structural integrity of the periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone …

The identification of the physical mechanism (s) by which cells can sense vibrations requires
the determination of the cellular mechanical environment. Here, we quantified vibration …

Objetive It has been claimed that micro-pulse vibration can accelerate the rate of tooth
movement during orthodontic treatment; however, the underlying cellular mechanism has …

Animal studies suggest that regular exposure to whole‐body vibration (WBV) induces an
anabolic response in bone and tendon. However, the effects of this type of intervention on …

We investigated the effects of vibration (35 Hz, 45 Hz and 55 Hz) as countermeasure locally
applied to unloading hind limbs on bone, muscle and Achilles tendon. 40 female Sprague …

Purpose: Whole body vibration (WBV) triggers anabolic responses in various tissues,
including tendons, without requiring high force production. In this waitlist-controlled …

Spaceflight induced bone loss is seriously affecting astronauts. Mechanical stimulation from
exercise has been shown to restrain bone resorption as well as improve bone formation …

Background Whole-body vibration (WBV) is associated with back and neck pain in military
personnel and civilians. However, the role of vibration frequency and the physiological …
