Introduction:

Weight-bearing movement and weight-bearing exercise both have a direct consequence on mechanical stress. The portion of mechanical stress or load applied to living bone, in distinctive, will affect its configuration. Osteocytes detect mechanical stress and communicate it to osteoblasts. Osteoblasts increase osteoid synthesis, which is followed by mineral salt deposition. In response to mechanical stress, bone health grows over time.
