Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by weakened and fragile bones. It often remains asymptomatic in its early stages but can lead to serious health problems, particularly fractures.The mechanostat theory explains that bone mass is regulated by mechanical loading. Increased activity stimulates bone formation, while decreased activity promotes bone resorption. The "bone reflex" concept further suggests that the nervous system plays a crucial role in this process by regulating both bone metabolism (osteoregulation) and muscle activity (myoregulation) in response to mechanical loading.
