Comparison of Alendronate vs Alendronate Plus Mechanical Loading as Prophylaxis for Osteoporosis in Lung Transplant Recipients: a Pilot Study

These results suggest that resistance exercise plus alendronate is more effective than alendronate alone in restoring BMD. Anti-osteoporosis therapy in LTRs should include both an anti-resorptive agent and an osteogenic stimulus, such as mechanical loading.
