“…Interestingly, it is reported that swimming had more minor bone mineral density increments than treadmill running. [59,62,63] Such observation correlates with our finding that the intravascular pulse pressure is not the determinate factor, but systematically contributes to regulating the mechanosensitive perivascular niches. At the same time, the elasticity and stiffness (e.g., Young's modulus) of vessels determine the magnitude and speed of stretchinduced force propagation.…”

The mechanical stimuli generated by body exercise can be transmitted from cortical bone into the deep bone marrow (mechanopropagation). Excitingly, a mechanosensitive perivascular stem cell niche is recently identified within the bone marrow for osteogenesis and lymphopoiesis. Although it is long known that they are maintained by exercise‐induced mechanical stimulation, the mechanopropagation from compact bone to deep bone marrow vasculature remains elusive of this fundamental mechanobiology field. No experimental system is available yet to directly understand such exercise‐induced mechanopropagation at the bone‐vessel interface. To this end, taking advantage of the revolutionary in vivo 3D deep bone imaging, an integrated computational biomechanics framework to quantitatively evaluate the mechanopropagation capabilities for bone marrow arterioles, arteries, and sinusoids is devised. As a highlight, the 3D geometries of blood vessels are smoothly reconstructed in the presence of vessel wall thickness and intravascular pulse pressure. By implementing the 5‐parameter Mooney–Rivlin model that simulates the hyperelastic vessel properties, finite element analysis to thoroughly investigate the mechanical effects of exercise‐induced intravascular vibratory stretching on bone marrow vasculature is performed. In addition, the blood pressure and cortical bone bending effects on vascular mechanoproperties are examined. For the first time, movement‐induced mechanopropagation from the hard cortical bone to the soft vasculature in the bone marrow is numerically simulated. It is concluded that arterioles and arteries are much more efficient in propagating mechanical force than sinusoids due to their stiffness. In the future, this in‐silico approach can be combined with other clinical imaging modalities for subject/patient‐specific vascular reconstruction and biomechanical analysis, providing large‐scale phenotypic data for personalized mechanobiology discovery.

“…For cerebral palsy, a study published in 2016 did not find a significant impact on electroencephalograms after hippotherapy intervention [35]. Moreover, there were no significant changes in brain function in children with attention deficit or hyperactivity disorder or both, after 32 weeks of hippotherapy [36]. According to these findings, more investigations are needed in the neuroscience field to assess the efficacy of hippotherapy in brain functions for different populations.…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate the physical activity of children with decreased visual acuity, thereby providing basic data for developing strategies to enhance the physical activity of school-age children. Methods The participants were 1,194 children and 1,194 parents who participated in the 10th Korean Children Panel Survey. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the status of the physical activity of children with decreased visual acuity according to the accessibility of community facilities. Results The mother perceived the accessibility of community facilities as low, children with decreased visual acuity reported 1.20 times shorter over-the-weekend leisure activity time compared with vision-typical children, and they spent 1.41 and 1.33 times shorter on caring for pets and religious activity, respectively. Conclusions To increase the physical activity of children with decreased visual acuity, family-oriented interventions should be provided. It is also important to establish a community environment with enhanced accessibility of community facilities by examining the level of accessibility perceived by parents.
