Mechanotransduction plays a crucial role in the physiology of many tissues including bone.
Mechanical loading can inhibit bone resorption and increase bone formation in vivo. In …

As mechanical usage (MU) of a bone changes from complete disuse towards maximal vigor,
the biologic mechanisms that can adapt it to its MU tend to react predictably. Acute disuse …

The first edition of Skeletal Tissue Mechanics, published in 1998, grew out of Bruce Martin's
lecture notes for a course by the same name, which was part of the biomedical engineering …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

Abstract “Wolff's law” is a concept that has sometimes been misrepresented, and frequently
misunderstood, in the anthropological literature. Although it was originally formulated in a …

Bone formation was measured in rat tibiae after 12 days of applied loading. Bending forces
were applied using a four‐point loading apparatus. Sham loads were applied at the same …

Growing bone responds to low or moderate exercise through significant additions of new
bone in both cortical and trabecular moieties and results in adaptation through periosteal …

The effect of aging on the mechanical loading thresholds for osteogenesis was investigated
in rats. We applied mechanical loads varying from 30 to 64 N to the tibiae of 43 19‐month …

Enosseous oral implants have been suggested as anchorage for orthodontic appliances in
cases where the existing dentition cannot provide sufficient stability. Long‐term studies of …

Wolff's law defines a static relationship between stress trajectories and trabecular
architecture. More recent theories have attempted to describe the dynamic relationship …
