摘要： A therapeutic device, such as an exercise device, includes the principles of osteogenic repair by incorporating a vibrational loading mechanism into the exercise device. By doing so, the therapeutic device provides an increased osteogenic effect, thereby enhancing the benefits of the therapy. As an example, an exercise device includes a support surface for supporting all or part of the bodily tissue of an individual using the device. A linear or rotary vibrational loading mechanism associated with the frame or a rotational element of the exercise device drives the support surface at a selected load and frequency, thereby inducing mechanical loading of bodily tissue adjacent to the support surface sufficiently to facilitate the growth, development, strengthening, and/or healing of bone tissue. The vibrational loading mechanism may be incorporated into any exercise device, including standard exercise devices such as rowing machines, stair climbing machines, elliptical trainers, bicycles, cross-country ski trainers, treadmills, or weight trainers.

摘要： The present disclosure describes a method of determining the onset of osteoporosis by measuring the vibrational response of the musculoskeletal system. Risk of fracture of bones due to osteoporosis is mainly determined by three risk factors: muscle strength, bone mass, and postural stability. Because these three risk factors for fractures are interrelated and dependent on muscle function, they can be determined by quantifying physiologic vibration non-invasively using a low-mass accelerometer placed at an appropriate muscle belly. Muscle vibrations are produced by force fluctuations of unfused motor units during contraction and are expressed by the lateral expansion of muscle fibers. Muscle vibrational characteristics span a broad (0-100 Hz) frequency regime, directly reflecting the force provided by the muscle fibers being utilized and the nature of the dynamic mechanical milieu experienced by the skeleton during postural or locomotory muscle activity. In addition vibrational information below 5 Hz has been shown to correspond to postural instability. Also, a specific frequency component of the muscle vibration spectrum (25-50 Hz) has now been shown to represent the contribution of fast-oxidative fibers which are well correlated to the bone mineral density of humans. Thus, all three of the major risk factors of fracture are measured by a simple measurement of the musculoskeletal vibration spectrum using physiologic vibration quantification.
摘要翻译： 本公开描述了通过测量肌肉骨骼系统的振动响应来确定骨质疏松症发病的方法。 由于骨质疏松症骨折骨折的风险主要由肌肉力量，骨质量和姿势稳定性三个危险因素决定。 因为这三个骨折的危险因素是相互关联的并且依赖于肌肉功能，所以它们可以通过使用放置在适当的肌肉腹部的低质量加速计非侵入性量化生理振动来确定。 肌肉振动由收缩期间未运动的运动单位的力波动产生，并且由肌肉纤维的横向膨胀表示。 肌肉振动特征跨越宽（0-100Hz）的频率范围，直接反映由所使用的肌肉纤维提供的力以及在姿势或运动肌肉活动期间由骨骼经历的动态机械环境的性质。 此外，低于5Hz的振动信息已经显示为对应于姿势不稳定性。 此外，现在已经显示了肌肉振动谱（25-50Hz）的特定频率分量代表与人的骨矿物质密度相关的快速氧化纤维的贡献。 因此，通过使用生理振动定量的肌骨骼振动谱的简单测量来测量所有三种主要的骨折危险因素。

摘要： A non-invasive method for evaluating a musculoskeletal system of a patient is provided which includes the steps of: providing a vibration measurement device in proximity to a non-rigidly supported platform; measuring a vibrational response of the patient's musculoskeletal system using the vibration measurement device after the patient rests on the non-rigidly supported platform; performing a frequency decomposition of the vibrational response to quantify the vibrational response into specific vibrational spectra; and analyzing the vibrational spectra to evaluate muscle strength, postural stability and bone density. A non-invasive physiologic vibration quantification system is also provided for evaluating the musculoskeletal system of the patient. The system includes vibration means for externally transferring vibrations to the musculoskeletal system and including a vibration measurement device for measuring a response by the musculoskeletal system in accordance with the vibrations transferred by the vibration means and for forming signals representative of the musculoskeletal system response; and an analyzer coupled to the vibration measurement device for receiving the signals from the vibration measurement device and developing a frequency spectrum associated with the signals. The frequency spectrum provides vibrational quantification of the musculoskeletal system for evaluating at least postural stability.
