Skeletal muscle and bone share common embryological origins from mesodermal cell
populations and also display common growth trajectories early in life. Moreover, muscle and …

Whilst exposure to vibration is traditionally regarded as perilous, recent research has
focussed on potential benefits. Here, the physical principles of forced oscillations are …

Aging and a sedentary lifestyle conspire to reduce bone quantity and quality, decrease
muscle mass and strength, and undermine postural stability, culminating in an elevated risk …

Previous investigations reported enhanced osseous parameters subsequent to
administration of whole body vibration (WBV). While the efficacy of WBV continues to be …

We determined whether the effect of exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) and falls can
be enhanced by whole body vibration (WBV). In summary, the multi-purpose exercise …

Background The issue of osteoporosis-induced fractures has attracted the world's attention.
Postmenopausal women are particularly at risk for this type of fracture. The nonmedicinal …

Fracture healing is impaired in osteoporotic bone. Low-magnitude high-frequency vibration
(LMHFV) has recently been proven to be osteogenic in osteoporotic intact bone. Our …

Clinical guidelines for osteoporosis recommend dietary and pharmacologic interventions
and weight-bearing exercise to prevent bone fractures. These interventions sometimes have …

Bone formation and resorption are sensitive to both external loads arising from gravitational
loading as well to internal loads generated by muscular activity. The question as to which of …

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 …
