Utilizing a sciatic neurectomy model of disuse osteoporosis, the effects on rates of bone formation and bone resorption were examined when a capacitively coupled electrical signal was applied to the denervated tibia in the rat. It was found that a low-voltage, symmetrical sine wave, 60-kHz, capaciti
## Abstract Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) have been used widely to treat nonunion fractures and related problems in bone healing, as a biological and physical method. With the use of Helmholtz coils and PEMF stimulators to generate uniform timeβvarying electromagnetic fields, the effects of
