Changes in femoral neck bone mineral density and structural strength during a 12-month multicomponent exercise intervention among older adults - Does accelerometer-measured physical activity matter?
Savikangas T, Suominen T, Alen M, Rantalainen T, Sipila S
Bone . 2023 Nov; 178:116951. PMID: 37913888
Age-related bone loss is to some extent unavoidable, but it may be decelerated with regular exercise continued into older age. Daily physical activity alongside structured exercise may be an important...

Laboratory-Based Gait Variability and Habitual Gait Entropy Do Not Differentiate Community-Dwelling Older Adults from Those with Subjective Memory Complaints
Rantalainen T, Teo W, Ridgers N, Nuzum N, Valente L, MacPherson H
Gait Posture . 2020 Jun; 80:20-25. PMID: 32480194
Background: Age-related cognitive decline may be delayed with appropriate interventions if those at high risk can be identified prior to clinical symptoms arising. Gait variability assessment has emerged as a...

Reliability and concurrent validity of spatiotemporal stride characteristics measured with an ankle-worn sensor among older individuals
Rantalainen T, Pirkola H, Karavirta L, Rantanen T, Linnamo V
Gait Posture . 2019 Aug; 74:33-39. PMID: 31442820
Background: Wearable inertial sensors have been shown to provide valid mean gait characteristics assessments, however, assessment of variability is less convincingly established. Research Question: What level of concurrent validity, and...

The importance of level stratification for quantitative MR studies of lumbar intervertebral discs: a cross-sectional analysis in 101 healthy adults
Hebelka H, Lagerstrand K, Brisby H, Owen P, Quittner M, Rantalainen T, et al.
Eur Spine J . 2019 Jul; 28(9):2153-2161. PMID: 31309335
Purpose: To investigate whether quantitative T2-times depend on lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) level. Methods: The lumbar spine (Th12/L1-L5/S1) of 101 participants (53.5% female, 30.0[± 3.6]years, 173.5[± 9.6]cm and 69.9[± 13.4]kg),...

Mechanical basis of bone strength: influence of bone material, bone structure and muscle action
Hart N, Nimphius S, Rantalainen T, Ireland A, Siafarikas A, Newton R
J Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact . 2017 Sep; 17(3):114-139. PMID: 28860414
This review summarises current understanding of how bone is sculpted through adaptive processes, designed to meet the mechanical challenges it faces in everyday life and athletic pursuits, serving as an...

Effects of high intensity resistance aquatic training on body composition and walking speed in women with mild knee osteoarthritis: a 4-month RCT with 12-month follow-up
Waller B, Munukka M, Rantalainen T, Lammentausta E, Nieminen M, Kiviranta I, et al.
Osteoarthritis Cartilage . 2017 Mar; 25(8):1238-1246. PMID: 28263901
Objective: To investigate the effects of 4-months intensive aquatic resistance training on body composition and walking speed in post-menopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA), immediately after intervention and after...

Effect of progressive high-impact exercise on femoral neck structural strength in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis: a 12-month RCT
Multanen J, Rantalainen T, Kautiainen H, Ahola R, Jamsa T, Nieminen M, et al.
Osteoporos Int . 2016 Dec; 28(4):1323-1333. PMID: 28035445
Introduction: No previous studies have examined whether high-impact exercise can improve bone strength and articular cartilage quality in subjects with mild knee osteoarthritis. In this 12-month RCT, we assessed the...

Efficacy of progressive aquatic resistance training for tibiofemoral cartilage in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled trial
Munukka M, Waller B, Rantalainen T, Hakkinen A, Nieminen M, Lammentausta E, et al.
Osteoarthritis Cartilage . 2016 May; 24(10):1708-1717. PMID: 27211862
Objective: To study the efficacy of aquatic resistance training on biochemical composition of tibiofemoral cartilage in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design: Eighty seven volunteer postmenopausal women, aged...

Motor cortex excitability is not differentially modulated following skill and strength training
Leung M, Rantalainen T, Teo W, Kidgell D
Neuroscience . 2015 Aug; 305:99-108. PMID: 26259901
Aim: A single session of skill or strength training can modulate the primary motor cortex (M1), which manifests as increased corticospinal excitability (CSE) and decreased short-latency intra-cortical inhibition (SICI). We...

Increased cross-education of muscle strength and reduced corticospinal inhibition following eccentric strength training
Kidgell D, Frazer A, Daly R, Rantalainen T, Ruotsalainen I, Ahtiainen J, et al.
Neuroscience . 2015 Jun; 300:566-75. PMID: 26037804
Aim: Strength training of one limb results in a substantial increase in the strength of the untrained limb, however, it remains unknown what the corticospinal responses are following either eccentric...
