Experimental, controlled study. To examine the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on bone mass and trabecular bone microstructure (TBMS) during the early stage in juvenile rats with spinal cord injury (SCI). Studied at the Kio University in Japan. Thirty-four 8-week-old male Wistar rats were divi...
