The effect of age and initial compression on the force relaxation response of the femur in elderly women

The effect of force amount, age, body weight and bone mineral density (BMD) on the femur's force relaxation response was analysed for 12 donors (age: 56–91 years). BMD and fracture load, FL, were estimated from clinical CT images. The 30 min force relaxation was obtained using a constant compre...
