Silva Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783642180521, 3642180523 eText ISBN: 9783642180538, 3642180531 Copyright year: 2013 Format: EPUB Available from $ 129.00 USD SKU 9783642180538 The focus of this book is on mechanical aspects of skeletal fragility related to aging and osteoporosis. Topics include: Age-related changes in trabecular structure and strength; age-related changes in cortical material properties; age-related changes in whole-bone structure; predicting bone strength and fracture risk using image-based methods and finite element analysis; animal models of osteoporosis and aging; age-related changes in skeletal mechano responsiveness; exercise and physical interventions for osteoporosis.
