The “lazy zone” is an artifact associated with background mechanical strain stimuli. Increasing mechanical strain is associated with a linear increase in bone mass in studies when background strains are eliminated in the isolated avian ulna [(A), (91)] and combined sciatic neurectomy and tibial loading models [(B), (86)]. This indicates there is no “lazy zone” in bone’s adaptation to loading [(C), (86)]. MES, minimum effective strain stimulus.
