Trabecular structure is frequently used to differentiate between highly divergent mechanical environments. Less is known regarding the response of the structural properties to more subtle behavioral differences, as the range of intrapopulation variation in trabecular architecture is rarely studied. Examining the extent to which lower limb trabecular architecture varies when inferred mobility levels and environment are consistent between groups within a relatively homogenous population may aid in the contextualization of interpopulation differences, improve detectability of sexual dimorphism in trabecular structure, and improve our understanding of trabecular bone functional adaptation.

下肢小梁结构的群体内变异。

小梁结构经常用于区分高度发散的机械环境。关于结构特性对更细微的行为差异的反应知之甚少，因为很少研究小梁结构中种群内变异的范围。当推断的移动水平和环境在相对同质人群中的群体之间保持一致时，检查下肢小梁结构变化的程度可能有助于对群体间差异的背景化，提高小梁结构中性二态性的可检测性，并提高我们对小梁骨的理解功能适应。
