Development of residual strains in human vertebral trabecular bone after prolonged static and cyclic loading at low load levels

Development of irreversible residual strains in trabecular bone may be a mechanism by which age-related non-traumatic vertebral fractures occur. To investigate this concept, static and cyclic loading tests were conducted at low loading levels for cylindrical cores of cadaveric vertebral trabecular b...
