EFFECT OF BIOMECHANICAL STIMULATION ON SKELETAL HEALTH IN ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG WOMEN WITH ANOREXIA NERVOSA
This study will evaluate the effects of a novel, non-pharmacologic intervention for the
prevention of deleterious changes in bone density and strength in adolescents with anorexia
nervosa (AN), a disease commonly treated with extended periods of bed rest and
immobilization. The primary focus of the trial is to conduct a prospective short-term
intervention to prevent an uncoupling of bone turnover in inpatients hospitalized for AN,
and to determine the long-term effects of a biomechanical intervention on skeletal health in
ambulatory adolescents with AN.
