Development of Measurement Technique and Analysis Model of Excited Human Bone

(Suggestion of the analysis model in consideration of the influence of the soft tissue)

Abstract

The number of osteoporotic patient is in a tendency to increase now. Therefore, we must take mesures against osteoporosis. The study to prevent bone rarefaction by controlling vibration stimulation appropriately without using a therapeutic dug is conducted. However, the suitable condition for vibration is unknown because vibration properties of the bone is not clear. In this report, we suggest the bone vibration analysis model that considered the influence that the soft tissue around the bones of lower limb gives to bone vibration. And we identified the validity of the analysis model by comparing the analysis result and the experimental result. We conclude that this analysis model has reformability because this model catches the tendency of experimental result．
