MicroCT of the mid-diaphyseal cortical bone of the radius. (A–F) Total area (Tt.Ar), cortical bone area (Ct.Ar), percent cortical area normalized to total area (% Ct.Ar/Tt.Ar), cortical thickness (Ct.Th), marrow area (Ma.Ar), periosteal perimeter (Ps.Pm). (G) Representative transaxial images of the mid-diaphysis of the radius. (H) Cortical bone tissue mineral density (TMD). Mean ± 95% confidence intervals (CIs) shown. Abbreviations: control rats (Control); 12-week TASK rats (TASK); TASK rats that rested for 6 weeks after task cessation (TASK-R); control rats that received manual therapy for 12 weeks (Control+MT); TASK rats that simultaneously received manual therapy for 12 weeks (TASK+MT); TASK rats that rested for 6 weeks after task cessation while receiving manual therapy treatment of their upper limbs three times per week (TASK-MTR). # and ##: p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, compared to the TASK group. * and **: p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, compared between groups as shown.
