Vibrational loading can stimulate the formation of new trabecular bone, or maintain bone mass. Studies investigating vibrational loading have often used whole-body vibration (WBV) as their loading method. However, WBV has limitations in small animal studies because transmissibility of vibration is dependent on posture. In this study we propose constrained tibial vibration (CTV) as an experimental method for vibrational loading of mice under controlled conditions. In CTV the lower leg of an anesthetized mouse is subjected to vertical vibrational loading while supporting a mass. The setup approximates a one degree-of-freedom mass-spring system where the leg acts as the spring. Accelerometers were used to measure the transmissibility of vibration through the lower leg (foot to knee) in CTV at frequencies from 20–150 Hz. First, the frequency response of transmissibility was quantified in vivo, and dissections were performed to remove one component of the mouse lower leg (the knee joint, foot, or soft tissue) in order to investigate the contribution of each component to the frequency response of the intact leg. Next, a finite element model of a mouse tibia-fibula was used to estimate the deformation of the bone during CTV. Finally, strain gages were used to determine the dependence of bone strain on loading frequency. The in vivo mouse leg in the CTV system had a resonant frequency at approximately 60 Hz for ±0.5 G vibration (1.0 G peak-to-peak) with a moving mass of 125 g. Removing the foot caused the natural frequency of the system to shift from 60 to 70 Hz; removing the soft tissue caused no change in natural frequency; and removing the knee changed the natural frequency from 60 to 90 Hz. Using the FE model, maximum tensile and compressive strains during CTV were estimated to be on the cranial-medial and caudo-lateral surfaces of the tibia, respectively, and the peak transmissibility and peak cortical strain occurred at the same frequency. Strain gage data confirmed the relationship between peak transmissibility and peak bone strain indicated by the FE model, and showed that the maximum cyclic tibial strain during CTV of the intact leg was 330 ± 82 με and occurred at 60–70 Hz. This study presents a comprehensive mechanical analysis of CTV, a loading method for studying vibrational loading under controlled conditions. This model will be used in future in vivo studies, and has the potential to become an important tool for understanding the response of bone to vibrational loading.
