| Time | AC | HU±SC | HU+90 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 week | 91.4±2.3 | 93.4±2.8 | 92.7±3.2 |
| 4 week | 94.5±2.4* | 95.7±3.3* | 95.7±2.9* |
| Relative Change [%] | 3.7 ± 2.1 | 1.9 ± 1.1 | 3.2 ± 2.1 |
Data are presented as mean±SD; n=7 for age-matched (AC) and hindlimb unloaded with brief 90 Hz oscillations (HU+90); n=14 for hindlimb unloaded with or without brief weightbearing (HU±SC).
