Wearable Vibration Device to Prevent Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women--Aim 2

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Osteopenia

In brief

The wearable vibration device aims to consistently deliver vibrations directly to the hip and spine and allowing use during many everyday activities. We propose that demonstrating higher rates of compliance and consistent delivery of optimal force, with accelerometer feedback, will provide a superior alternative to whole body vibration and is plausibly more effective at preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women than vibration platforms in the home setting.
