Rib stress fractures in elite rowers
… in the development of exercise-induced rib stress fractures (RSF) in elite rowers as well as investigate biomechanical and neuromuscular differences of ergometer rowing in stationary and slide-based ergometers. BMD and muscle strength was assessed as well as EMG of thoracic muscles and …

Stress fractures : loss and emotion in the recent Irish cinema
The prevailing view of contemporary Irish cinema is predicated on assumptions about the nature and development of a national film culture. The most basic of these is that there has been a fundamental shift in the direction of Irish filmmaking, a shift away from the bold aesthetics and radical …

Can changing running shoes immediately reduce the risk of tibial stress fractures?
… however many runners suffer from tibial stress fractures (TSF). While there are various kinematic, kinetic, and anthropometric risk factors associated with TSF, it is though that by changing running shoes one or several of these risk factors will decrease. This thesis is focused on the …

Numerical simulation of viscoelastic buckle folds: Implications for stress, fractures, porosity and fluid flow
… made, which may not result in realistic in-situ stress conditions leading to rock failure. This study represents the first numerical simulation of folding under the consideration of gravity and pore pressure to simulate the structural development of buckle folds.</p> <p>The first topic covered in …

A Prospective Design Identifying Etiological Risk Factors Associated with MTSS and Stress Fractures in Female Intercollegiate Athletes.
… overuse injuries, specifically Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) and Tibial Stress Fractures (TSF), may help professionals with management and prevention of these injuries. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors associated with MTSS and TSF in female intercollegiate …

The Incidence of Stress Fractures Among All Female Division I Athletes at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Stress fractures are common overuse injuries that have plagued athletes for many years. Often referred to as fatigue fractures, they are formed when the skeletal muscles fatigue and can no longer absorb the shock of repetitive pounding activities such as running. Stress fractures are most common in …

An Investigation of Humeral Stress Fractures in Racing Thoroughbreds Using a 3D Finite Element Model in Conjunction with a Bone Remodeling Algorithm
… horse Thoroughbred is highly susceptible to stress fractures at a characteristic location as a result of cyclic loading. The propensity of a Thoroughbred to exhibit humeral fracture has made equines useful models in the epidemiology of stress fractures. In this study, a racing Thoroughbred …

Damage accumulation of bovine bone under chaotic and variable amplitude loading.
Stress fractures are a common occurrence that can be detrimental to an athlete's career. At present, there is no method for early detection of stress fractures. This study is a continuation of the pilot study to determine if either the Palmgren-Minor rule (PMR) or phase space warping (PSW) could be …

Tibial bone properties and mechanics under atypical loading conditions
Stress fractures are a source of frustration in amateur and professional athletes. They invariably interrupt training due to pain and if untreated can progress to a complete fracture. While microdamage is a normal phenomenon that triggers targeted remodeling and skeletal renewal, microdamage is …

Comparison of a Dynamic Ankle Orthosis to a Walking Boot for Preserving Ankle Joint Motion and Reducing Tibial Bone Load and Strain
Tibial stress fractures are a common overuse injury accounting for 21.9 – 69% of stress fractures among runners and 24 – 51.2% of stress fractures in military cadets. Current treatment involves wearing a walking boot for 3 – 12 weeks, which limits ankle motion and causes lower limb muscle atrophy. …

Damage accumulation of bovine bone under variable amplitude loads.
Stress fractures, a painful injury, are caused by excessive fatigue in bone. This study into damage accumulation in bone sought to determine if the Palmgren-Miner rule (PMR), a well-known linear damage accumulation hypothesis, is predictive of fatigue failure in bone. An electromagnetic shaker …

A Comparison of Body Composition between Eumenorrheic and Amenorrheic Adolescent Cross-Country Runners
… menarchal age, nutritional information, and stress fractures were reported by the subjects. Statistical analyses consisted of Pearson product-moment and partial correlations to examine the associations of the variables, paired t-tests to measure seasonal body composition changes, multivariate …

In vitro comparison of methylene diphosphonate radiopharmaceuticals
… carcinoma, bony metastases, osteomyelitis, and stress fractures are diagnosed with the use of Tc99m-MDP (1). In the presence of disease, the biodistribution of Tc99m-MDP is altered and this change is reflected in the images or scans. Ideally, the product would show a high ration of radioactivity …

Microdamage accumulation in bovine trabecular bone
… bone stiffness and strength and may lead to stress fractures or fragility fractures. A new technique for visualizing microdamage in vitro has been developed that uses chelating fluorochromes to label microcracks. Sequential staining is used to distinguish between microdamage that occurred …

Effects of Marathon Training on Male and Female Femoral Stress Fracture Risk
<p>Marathon runners are prone to femoral stress fractures due to the high magnitudes and frequencies of lower extremity loads during training. Female runners tend to have a greater incidence of stress fracture compared to male runners. Sex-specific differences in body structure, joint pressure, and …
