概要
- 論文の詳細を見る
As a countermeasure for bone loss experienced by astronauts during the microgravity of spaceflight, and by aging patients (e.g., osteoporosis), the designs of devices for the application of lateral loads to the knee joint are described. These "knee-loading joint supporters (KJS)" are intended to clamp onto the human knee and provide variable, intermittent pulses of mechanical load. Based on previous experimentation with mouse models, it is expected that these KJS devices will facilitate human bone strengthening.
