AbstractA 14 days ground based primate hypokinesia investigation was conducted to determine what changes, if any, in bone strength may be demonstrated following 2 weeks cast immobilization and at 14 days after removal from casts. Controlled compressive loads were applied to vertebral bodies excised from control, 2 weeks immobilization and 2 weeks post immobilization Rhesus monkeys. The material properties reported herein are ultimate load, displacement to ultimate load, stiffness, and energy to ultimate load. These results show a decrease in bone strength following immobilization and a still further decrease in bone strength after 14 days.
