原文（中国語）

Apparatus for the treatment or prevention of osteopenia and osteoporosis, stimulating bone growth, preserving or improving bone mineral density, and inhibiting adipogenesis are disclosed herein. The wearable apparatus may generally comprise a housing containing a motor and one or more vibrating elements which are configured to impart repeated mechanical loads to a body of a user when actuated by the motor, one or more securing mechanisms for securing the housing to the user such that the housing is maintained against the body while maintaining portability, a first accelerometer in proximity to the motor, a controller in electrical communication with the first accelerometer, wherein the controller is configured to determine a 10 vertical orientation of the motor relative to horizontal based on a first signal from the first accelerometer and wherein the controller is further configured to provide an indicator when the vertical orientation of the motor is beyond a threshold limit.
