Bone mineral density (BMD) in femora of rats that underwent 5 weeks of vibration (Mean ± SD). There were no statistically significant differences between the regions of interest: The global region (Global), the entire proximal femur down to the lesser trochanter (Proximal), and a 4.6 mm-long section of the mid-shaft (Shaft).
| Region of Interest | Control BMD (g/cm2) |
|---|---|
| Global | 0.214 ± 0.018 |
| Proximal | 0.228 ± 0.016 |
| Shaft (R2) | 0.201 ± 0.021 |
