Anterior view of the right femur from 3 different groups: Sham (A); SCI (B); and SCI + PS (C). The lack of a mechanical load throughout both weight bearing and muscle contraction activities in the SCI rats (B) caused femoral morphological changes (i.e., a reduced bone perimeter and prominence of the gluteal tuberosity, arrow), whereas such changes were ameliorated by PS (C). (SCI: spinal cord injury; PS: passive standing).
