Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine - Mechanobiology of Bone Health

The UW Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine presents three of its basic science researchers in a broad-ranging review of improving bone health through muscle activity, such as excercise. Dr. Ted Gross discusses novel experiments demonstrating the importance of muscle forces and distributed loading in developing bone; Dr. Sundar Srinivasa reports on computer models of preventing bone loss in the aging skeleton; and Dr. Peter Cavanagh presents the results of his experiments examining bone loss during long-duration space flight.
