The prescription device is intended for post-menopausal women who have low bone density, a condition called osteopenia, according to the company’s manufacturer, Bone Health Technologies. The treatment group used a vibration belt, while the control group used a "sham device" that created a sound but did not deliver vibration. "This is especially important for women during the menopause transition, when women lose bone rapidly," Bilek told Fox News Digital. Doctors diagnose both bone conditions based on a test called a DEXA scan, which measures bone density. "The test compares a person’s bone density to that seen in a 30-year-old with similar height, weight and gender," Morris said.
