Abstract
⺠Whole body vibration (WBV) therapeutic impacts on bone were investigated in young osteogenesis imperfecta mice (oim). ⺠WBV beneficial impact on the cortical bone morphology of both femur and tibia in the wild type and oim mice ⺠Bone volume fraction was improved in the proximal tibia of oim vibrated mice. ⺠WBV has beneficial impact on bending properties in wild type vibrated mice but only a positive trend in oim mice. ⺠Bone apposition is not significantly improved in the mid-tibia cortical and proximal tibia trabecular bone in the oim vibrated mice.
