Can we Promote Bone Lengthening With Vibration Therapy?

Edit Post

Sounds interesting:

QuoteThis research will assess whether vibration therapy can increase bone-growth in length of the shorter leg in children aged 6-12 years with pre-existing leg length difference (LLD) which is being treated with a heel-raise or orthotics. Children will be referred by orthopaedic and musculoskeletal clinics, physiotherapists and orthotists. Children will have monthly measurement of leg length (LL) over a 13 month period (4 months pre-treatment, 3 months treatment, 6 months post-treatment) using a portable Ultrasound-laser system which is safe, accurate, reproducible and validated against standing x-ray measurement. ...

I didn't know that it's banned in China.

Curious, especially when one thinks about their Lotus feet procedure. O_o
