Bone Hammers Market

Global Bone Hammers Market: Introduction

A hammer is an instrument used by physicians to test deep tendon reflexes. Bone hammer is an important tool used in medical science. It is used during neurological examination in order to detect abnormalities in the nervous system. The doctors tap the tendon that connects the muscle to the bone, which causes the muscle to stretch slightly. This sends a nerve impulse to the spinal cord where it triggers a motor impulse that returns via a parallel nerve and causes the muscle to twitch. A faulty reflex is not a conclusion that you have one of the problems. However, a bad reflex indicates the doctor to investigate further.

Key Drivers of Global Bone Hammers Market  

Increase in Rate of Paget Disease of Bone

Paget's disease of bone is a chronic disease of the skeleton. In a healthy bone, a process called remodeling removes old pieces of bone and replaces them with new, fresh bone. Paget's disease occurs only rarely in people under 40 years of age. It is more common as people age. Paget’s disease most often affects older people, occurring in approximately 2 to 3% of the population over the age of 55. A study conducted in 2000 by Altman et al stated that the prevalence of pelvic Paget disease in the U.S. was 0.71% ± 0.18%, based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I (NHANES I, 1971-1975). The male-to-female ratio was 1.2:1, and the prevalence of pelvic Paget disease was the same in Caucasian’ and ‘African American.

Rise in Incidence of Ailments Associated with Bones

Globally, 200 million women suffer from osteoporosis. Across the globe, an osteoporotic fracture is estimated to occur every 3 seconds. 14 million women in the U.S. are affected by low bone density at the hip. Osteoporosis and its significance of breakage represent a worldwide public health problem, because breakage is related with increased mortality, connected morbidity, and reduced superiority of life. Osteoporosis affects millions of people across the world. It is described by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to fragility of the bone and a consequent increase in risk of fracture. By 2020, one in two Americans over age 50 is expected to have or be at risk of developing osteoporosis of the hip; even more will be at risk of developing osteoporosis at any site in the skeleton.

North America to Account for Major Share of Global Bone Hammers Market  

• North America is projected to account for major share of the global bone hammers market during the forecast period. The market in the region is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace in the next few years due to increase in incidence of bone disorders. Europe is expected to be the second largest market during the forecast period.
• The bone hammers market in Asia Pacific is likely to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to rise in investment in research & development by the private and government organizations and increase in incidence of orthopedic conditions.
