Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo measurement of human tibial strains during vigorous activity
David B. Burr,Charles Milgrom,David P. Fyhrie,Mark R. Forwood,Meir Nyska,Aharon S. Finestone,Susan J. Hoshaw,E. Saiag,Ariel Simkin +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that strain is maintained below 2000 microstrain even under conditions of strenuous activity, higher than previously recorded in human studies, but well within the range reported for running animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined Effect of Foot Arch Structure and an Orthotic Device on Stress Fractures
TL;DR: It is suggested that the normal foot with a low arch acts as a better shock absorber than the normalFoot with a high arch, and that an orthotic device may improve the shock absorbing capacity of the arch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for lateral ankle sprain: a prospective study among military recruits.
Charles Milgrom,Natan Shlamkovitch,Aaron Finestone,Arieh Eldad,Arie Laor,Yehuda L. Danon,Ofer Lavie,Joseph Wosk,Ariel Simkin +8 more
TL;DR: Recruits who were taller and heavier and thus had larger mass moments of inertia, and those with a prior history of ankle sprain had higher lateral ankle Sprain morbidity in basic training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased trabecular bone density due to bone-loading exercises in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the trabecular bone tissue in the distal radius of postmenopausal osteoporotic women responds favorably to dynamic and diverse bone stressing exercises even in the seventh decade of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress fractures: Identifiable risk factors
TL;DR: Using a multivariate analysis, two risk factors were identified: recruits with stress frac tures had significantly narrower tibiae and a higher degree of external rotation of the hip, which might explain the susceptibility of some people to stress fractures.
