Current studies
• Cross-validation and reproducibility of two pQCT machines
• Quantifying muscle mass, muscle fat content
• Determining optimal site to detect early OA changes
in subchondral bone of human femoro-patellar joint,
relate to bone and muscle parameters and interventions
• Animal studies of differences in tissue composition and
bone changes after brief, moderate early-life exercise.
