Abstract

Low-magnitude high-frequency (LMHF) of vibrational stimulation has been accepted as an effective method to enhance bone remolding. However, the electromagnetic field (EMF) generated by the vibrator could also be an influence factor in the vibrational experiments. This phenomenon underlies the bone remodeling effect caused by vibrational stimulation is disrupted to be investigated. This paper presents a design of LMHF vibrator with multiple plungers to generate vibrational stimulation with ultra low magnetic flux density to minimize the biological effect caused by the EMF. The EMF is analyzed in finite element method (FEM) using COMSOL.
