A comparison of alendronate to varying magnitude PEMF in mitigating bone loss and altering bone remodeling in skeletally mature osteoporotic rats
Abstract Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatments stimulate bone formation activities though further work is needed to optimize its therapeutic benefit. PEMF can generate local potential gradients and electric currents that have been suggested to mimic bone electrochemical responses to load. In line with this reasoning, a recent publication reported that PEMF application on isolated bone

Marketing Your Professional Certification
Marketing Your Certification We often hear from our certificants that they choose to become certified for reasons of personal satisfaction, not for the marketing value. “People don’t recognize [our] certifications,” is a common refrain. This, however, won’t be the case if you educate them. To reap the full marketing benefits of your certification, be sure
Translational Insights into Extremely Low Frequency Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (ELF-PEMFs) for Bone Regeneration after Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery
Abstract The finding that alterations in electrical potential play an important role in the mechanical stimulation of the bone provoked hype that noninvasive extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) can be used to support healing of bone and osteochondral defects. This resulted in the development of many ELF-PEMF devices for clinical use. Due to
Veterinary applications of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy
Highlights • PEMF treatment is increasingly being used for both human and veterinary care. • PEMF devices deliver electromagnetic fields to tissue to promote healing. • Basic and clinical research on PEMF treatment has matured over the last decade. • Evidence supports PEMF treatment for fractures, pain, wounds, and other indications. • PEMF, as part
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Evaluating the Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields on Marrow Adiposity in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia
Abstract Objective: Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) could promote osteogenic differentiation and suppress adipogenic differentiation in bone mesenchymal stem cells ex vivo. However, data on the effect of PEMF on marrow adiposity in humans remain elusive. We aimed to determine the in vivo effect of PEMF on marrow adiposity in postmenopausal women using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Methods: Sixty-one
