Is there a difference between weight bearing and non-weight-bearing bone in predicting the risk of fracture?
In predicting the risk of fracture it is important to keep in mind that osteoporosis is a systemic disease that affects the entire skeleton. Ergo, one bone can potentially predict fracture risk as well as another. The key to the prediction of fracture risk lies in the device’s sensitivity to bone change. In test after test, the Omnisense has proven itself sensitive to bone changes due to aging and in response to treatment.
