ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of vibration as a countermeasure against bone loss.Methods Volunteers were divided into vibration-group(VIB)and control-group(CON).Vibration experiments were performed in VIB for 3 months(10 min/d,5 d/week).Bone mineral density(BMD)of both VIB and CON was observed after 3 months.Results BMD in VIB increased obviously after vibration treatment(+1.29% for vertebrae and +1.65% for femur).The effectiveness rate was 80%.Conclusion Whole body vibration is effective in countermining bone loss.It has a broad prospect in treating osteoporosis and counteracting bone loss caused by weightlessness.
