The skeleton shows greatest plasticity to physical activity-related mechanical loads during
youth but is more at risk for failure during aging. Do the skeletal benefits of physical activity …

Isotropic hyperelastic models have been used to determine the material properties of normal
human cartilage, but there remains an incomplete understanding of how these properties …

Multicomponent exercise programs are recommended to reduce fracture risk; however, their
effectiveness in real‐world community settings remain uncertain. This 18‐month …

Advancing age and reduced loading are associated with a reduction in bone formation.
Conversely, loading increases periosteal apposition and may reduce remodeling imbalance and …

Physical activity is recommended to mitigate the incidence of hip osteoporotic fractures by
improving femoral neck strength. However, results from clinical studies are highly variable and …

Tendon inserts into bone via a fibrocartilaginous interface (enthesis) that reduces mechanical
strain and tissue failure. Despite this toughening mechanism, tears occur because of acute …

The properties of foams, an important class of cellular solids, are most sensitive to the volume
fraction and openness of its elementary compartments; size, shape, orientation, and the …

Objective To evaluate the effect of combining a continuous epitendinous suture with three‐loop
pulley (3LP) and locking‐loop (LL) core patterns for flexor tendon repair. Study design Ex …

Objective To determine the effects of different epitendinous sutures (ES) in addition to core
locking‐loop (LL) sutures on the mechanical properties and gap formation in a canine …

During aging and in osteoporosis, cortical bone becomes more porous, making it more
fragile and susceptible to fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the intracortical …
