Osteoporosis, a condition of skeletal decline that undermines quality of life, is treated with
pharmacological interventions that are associated with poor adherence and adverse effects …

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

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

Short durations of extremely small magnitude, high-frequency, mechanical stimuli can
promote anabolic activity in the adult skeleton. Here, it is determined if such signals can …

High‐frequency whole body vibrations can be osteogenic, but their efficacy appears limited
to skeletal segments that are weight bearing and thus subject to the induced load. To …

We discuss herein the theory as well as some design considerations of magnetic tweezers.
This method of generating force on magnetic particles bound to biological entities is shown …

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 …

Purpose Schoolteachers have become a benchmark population for the study of
occupational voice use. A decade of vibration-dose studies on the teacher population allows …

Occupational exposure to vibration through the use of power-and pneumatic hand-tools
results in cold-induced vasospasms, finger blanching, and alterations in sensorineural …

This study investigated the effect of vibration on bone healing and muscle in intact and
ovariectomized rats. Thirty ovariectomized (at 3 months of age) and 30 intact 5-month old …
