Mechanical Stress Via Muscle Contractile Exercise Suppresses Atrophic Alterations of Bone-microstructure in Immobilized Rat Femurs

CONCLUSIONS: Applying mechanical stress via B-SES device suppressed the loss of cancellous bone density and degenerative microstructural changes caused by immobilization, which in turn suppressed the reduction of bone strength. From these findings, muscle contractile exercise may be effective in preventing immobilization-induced bone atrophy.PMID:38427365 | PMC:PMC10910203
