Non-invasive method of measuring the resonant frequency of a human tibia in vivo. Part 2.
Part 1 describes the special instrumentation used in the non-invasive measurement of tibia resonance in vivo. Here we discuss some of the problems which arise when real fractures are measured and comment on accuracy repeatability and the effects of muscle tension.
