Abstract
Objectives AIS was associated with low bone mass which, apart from being an important health issue that could persist into adulthood, was also a significant prognostic factor for curve progression in AIS. We have performed a randomized controlled trial on WBV and reported its effect on increasing femoral neck areal bone mineral density (aBMD) mainly at the dominant leg but less obviously at the non-dominant side. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of Vit-D in affecting the anabolic bone effect of WBV.
