Mechano-adaptation of bone: Are all strains equal?
2016-03-09
Abstract excerpt
Bone research has been re-directed in the 1990s by three revolutions: firstly the recognition that bones respond to changes in their mechanical environment in a dose-dependent way; secondly by the idea that these changes in bone size can be understood as self-adaptation to variant forces by a servo-control mechanism (mechanostat theory); and thirdly by the proposition that muscles ‘enslave’ bone’s mechan-adaptatio...
