Table 2:
Number of loading cycles/bout | Number of loading bouts/week | Number of weeks loading |
---|---|---|
Peak load magnitude | Peak strain engendered and location in the bone | Frequency (e.g. # of load cycles/second) |
Peak loading rate | Peak strain rate | Pre-load magnitude |
Waveform used | Rest insertion (duration and load magnitude) | Animal/bone orientation: supinehorizontal, supine-vertical, prone-vertical |
