action of an external stimulus.
16.2 Fundamentals of computational mechanobiology
It is well known that the mechanical environment has a major in uence on
the bone regeneration process (McKibbin, 1978). Mechanical stimulation,
in fact, induces bone regeneration or alters its biological pathway. A lim-
ited amount of motion at the bone fracture site has been shown to improve
the healing process (Goodship and Kenwright, 1985); conversely, excessive
movement may cause the opposite effect (Einhorn, 1995). Current chal-
lenges involve the determination of the appropriate mechanical stimulants
to promote ...
