Loss of functional weight bearing, such as experienced during space flight or bedrest, causes detrimental morphological volume changes to the intervertebral disc (IVD) beyond the normal diurnal cycle (10-13%), and muscle. Bed rest (BR) was used to test the hypothesis that, short-duration, low-magnitude, high-frequency mechanical vibrations will attenuate the IVD swelling and intrinsic back muscle...
In space, rapid losses in bone mineral density (BMD) leave astronauts at an increased risk of bone fracture. Longer microgravity missions combined with the lack of efficacy of current exercise regimes in reducing this loss leads to the need of a new treatment. This study has the goal of testing a treatment in the form of a low magnitude mechanical vibration. As an analog of space flight, 18 subjects...
