  • Sex differences in vertebral bone characteristic, loading patterns and the factor of risk in prepubertal children

    Creator:
    Fuller, Arwen A.
    Abstract:
    Sex differences in bone mass and size are thought to contribute to the greater incidence of vertebral fractures in women. While these sex differences are widely recognized, the relative contributions of bone mass, bone density, and bone size to the differences in vertebral strength and fracture risk between men and...

  • Defining intensity of skeletal loading in children

    Creator:
    Bauer, Jeremy J.
    Abstract:
    While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...

  • Specific loading protocols to promote bone mineral density in young women

    Creator:
    LaRiviere, Jane A.
    Abstract:
    Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), bone fragility, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. The disease is systemic in nature but potential solutions include exercises prescriptions that target the clinically relevant sites of osteoporosis (hip and spine) to improve bone mass. The aim of this dissertation...

  • A prospective study of functional performance balance self-efficacy, and bone mineral density in community-dwelling elderly women

    Creator:
    Gunter, Katherine B.
    Abstract:
    In the United States, falls are the leading cause of unintentional death with one of every three people 65 years and older falling each year. Falls account for approximately 95% of hip fractures among older adults and falls to the side predominate hip fracture related falls in this population. However,...
