Objective: To determine the efficacy of osteogenic loading (OL) specific therapy for bone mass density (BMD) and musculoskeletal bone performance adaptations in both osteopenic and osteoporotic postmenopausal female subjects.
Research design and methods: We randomly assigned from a single site patient pool 55 postmenopausal patients to receive OL therapy consisting of axial bone loading through lower extremity and spinal erection kinetic chains. The subjects selected (mean age of 69 (+/-? 8.3 SD) years) were seen to have low BMD (T-Score of -1.0 or lower) or were diagnosed with osteoporosis, but had not yet started any or had declined pharmacological intervention. All subjects performed in a 24-week observational trial. The OL apparatus utilized isolates optimal ranges of motion (i.e. ranges that humans reflexively assume to absorb impact in.. View More»
