Numerical modeling of cortical bone adaptation due to mechanical loading using the finite element method
"It is well known that bone tissue adapts its shape and structure according to its mechanical environment. Bone adaptation occurs on the dense cortical bone and porous trabecular bone. The process of bone adaptation is shown to be dependent on a number of mechanical loading parameters such as …

Equine proximal phalanx bone properties during growth
… most common cause of fractures in racing horses. Bone adaptation can be driven by mechanical loading, and exercise during youth has been shown to have life long benefits for bone health. However, normal development must be characterized in order to evaluate the effect of exercise during post-natal …

Low magnitude high frequency vibrations applied to the foot through the pedal of a human powered artificial gravity (HPAG) cycle
… These hazards include radiation exposure and adaptation of the human body to the microgravity environment. For lunar and low earth orbital missions, the exposure period is typically less than six months and return to Earth is less than two weeks away. For travel beyond the Earth's moon, the …

Translational studies into the effects of exercise on estimated bone strength
… associated with exercise is known to benefit bone health; however, most studies explore exercise benefits on bone mass independent of bone structure and strength. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the response of the skeleton to exercise across the translational divide between …

ASSESSMENT OF PERI-IMPLANT BONE MICROARCHITECTURE IN D4 BONE: AN EX VIVO MICROCT ANALYSIS
… stability quotient (ISQ), and peri-implant bone microarchitecture in low-density bone (D4). The investigation focused on three Straumann implant systems: Bone Level Tapered (BLT), Bone Level X (BLX), and Tissue Level (TL). Materials and Methods: An ex vivo model utilizing porcine tibia bone …

Osteocyte mechanotransduction: changes with age - a parametric finite element study
The nature of bone is to adapt its structure in response to mechanical loading. When the bone is loaded, it is remodeled to be able to support the increased loads. Bone resorption can occur resulting in bone loss from lack of mechanical loading. Bone adaptation is controlled by: (1) osteoclasts, …

Skeletal adaptation to reduced mechanical loading
Bone adapts its mass and architecture in response to its mechanical environment. Yet control of this process by mechanical cues is poorly understood, particularly for unloading. Defining the fundamental mechanoregulation of bone adaptation is critical for the better understanding and mitigation of …

Skeletal adaptation to reduced mechanical loading
Bone adapts its mass and architecture in response to its mechanical environment. Yet control of this process by mechanical cues is poorly understood, particularly for unloading. Defining the fundamental mechano-regulation of bone adaptation is critical for the better understanding and mitigation of …

Utilizing pQCT and Biomarkers of Bone Turnover to Study Influences of Physical Activity or Bariatric Surgery on Structural and Metabolic Status of Bone
Bone health in the context of two common maladies, osteoporosis and obesity, has spurred research in the area of physical activity (PA) and bariatric surgery (BarS). Objectives: To examine: 1) relationships between PA and the skeleton utilizing the peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) …

The effect of mechanical loading on bone during growth
Bone modeling and remodeling processes occur everyday during one's life, but change the skeleton in distinct ways. The primary function of bone modeling is to increase net bone mass and shape skeletal structure during growth, while remodeling has an essential role in renewing the bone by replacing …

The Effect of Orthodontic Treatment on Sagittal Root Position of the Maxillary Central Incisor
… represent a novel approach to describing bone changes around the maxillary incisors. The effect of orthodontic tooth movement, specifically changes in inclination, on SRP is of interest in potentially facilitating immediate implant placement. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use …
