Hello @babs10,
This article from NPR also helps explain the numbers in fracture reductions as well:
- https://www.npr.org/2026/06/08/nx-s1-5843308/bone-density-loss-vibrating-plates-belt
Here is quote from the article about the 126 person trial: "The placebo group lost 2.84% of their bone strength over the course of the year. Those who received the vibration therapy lost only 0.5%," Jaasma says.
This can help provide a bit more context around the percentages of bone loss. It does show promise and the researchers acknowledge it is more for localized (spine, hips) treatments to focus on areas that are at the highest risks for fracture. The device is FDA approved for patients with osteopenia who may be at risk for fractures in those areas and it may be worth a conversation with your provider if you fit the criteria.
