Impact exercise, such as running and jumping, can increase bone mineral density (Hind & Burrows, 2007; Vicente-Rodriguez et al., 2007; McKay et al., 2005). Improvements in bone mineralization were not seen in children who participated in non-weight-bearing exercise such as swimming (Grimston, Willows, & Hanley, 1993). Weight-bearing and intermittent weight-bearing programs also improve bone mineral density. Intermittent weight bearing with movement can be accomplished by partial weight-bearing ambulation through a use of a treadmill or gait trainer. Also, an upright standing frame that allows some weight shifting is beneficial.
