| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Artificial and quantitative load was applied onto the rat long bone utilizing micro-material testing machine and bone's adaptive responses were analyzed. The preferential orientation of apatite which we focusing on as a bone quality parameter changed depending on the magnitude of the applied load, which represents the success in optimizing the bone mechanical function by applying artificial load through the change of bone quality. In the present study, we achieved substantial results from both clinical (controlling bone mechanical function utilizing an external field) and scientific (clarifying new aspect of bone's adaptive response which had previously only been examined with regard to bone mass) aspects.
