Depression & Bone Risk



Friday, August 17, 12

Affects 16% of population Meta-analysis - lower BMD Percentage decrease in BMD was 5.9% for the lumbar spine and 6% for the hip 4 of 5 prospective studies on fracture risk concluded that depression was associated with an increase in fracture risk Many patients were taking SSRI drugs Exercise regimen not taken into account

Possible Factors Involved in BMD and Depression



Animal data suggest a relationship between a hyperactive efferent autonomic nervous system and bone resorption. Impairment of the immune system in depression has been documented. Proinammatory cytokines interleukins (IL) 1 and 6 and tumor necrosis factor are high. Cytokines are stimulants of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis, which may account for the hyperadrenocorticism observed in depression. Eskandari et al reported a reduction in anti-inammatory cytokine IL-13. SSRIs - have shown increased bone loss in post-menopausal women, increased risk of fracture, and increased rate of falling

Tenets of Tissue Stress Theory


1. Accurately identify the anatomical structure which is injured or symptomatic. 2. Determine the structural and functional characteristics of the individual's foot and lower extremity.

3. Determine the most likely type of abnormal tissue stress which is causing the pathology within the injured anatomical structure (i.e. compression, tension or shearing stress). 4. Design a treatment protocol to reduce the abnormal tissue stresses on the injured structure and reduce the local inammatory response so that more normal gait and weightbearing function can occur.

Osteocyte: The Mechanosensor


Friday, August 17, 12

Dynamic uid ow with higher peak shear stress amplitudes, faster oscillating frequencies, and longer loading durations are optimal for promoting bone formation. Structural adaptation of the bone is mediated by loading-induced interstitial uid ow within the bone microstructure. Osteocytes are the central mechanotransducer and mechanosensor demonstrated that COX-2 mRNA levels are elevated in osteocytes subjected to higher peak shear stress and longer ow durations RANKL/OPG mRNA levels decreased in response to higher peak shear stress amplitudes, faster oscillating frequencies, and longer ow durations.
