The Effects of Exposure to Extremely Low-Amplitude, Low-Frequency Electric Fields on Skeletal Tissue, In Vitro
<p>In vivo experiments have demonstrated (a) that transient electrical potentials are induced in impact-loaded bone, and (b) that bone formation is increased in response to electrical stimulation. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that, in response to mechanical loading, mechanical energy in bone …
