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

The still‐evolving mechanostat hypothesis for bones inserts tissue‐level realities into the
former knowledge gap between bone's organ‐level and cell‐level realities. It concerns load …

High‐frequency mechanical strain seems to stimulate bone strength in animals. In this
randomized controlled trial, hip BMD was measured in postmenopausal women after a 24 …

The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) has developed Official Positions
for the clinical use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and non-DXA technologies …

Whole body vibration has been recently proposed as an exercise intervention because of its
potential for increasing force generating capacity in the lower limbs. Its recent popularity is …

Abstract A 1‐year prospective, randomized, double‐blind, and placebo‐controlled trial of 70
postmenopausal women demonstrated that brief periods (< 20 minutes) of a low‐level (0.2 …

There is a substantial body of evidence indicating that exercise prior to the pubertal growth
spurt stimulates bone growth and skeletal muscle hypertrophy to a greater degree than …

The aim of this review was to examine the physiological effects of vibration exercise (VbX),
including the cardiovascular indices and to elucidate its potential use for those with …

whole body vibration to decrease fall risk and improve health-related quality of life of nursing …

The potential for brief periods of low‐magnitude, high‐frequency mechanical signals to
enhance the musculoskeletal system was evaluated in young women with low BMD. Twelve …
