Ikoti ryo gupima uburebure rikoreshwa mu gukubita imigeri mu isakoshi ifite ikoti, rishobora kongera umuvuduko wawe wo gutera imigeri, kwiruka no kwihuta, kandi rishobora gukoreshwa mu gusimbuka cyane, gusimbuka kure, no kwiruka kugira ngo bongere urwego rwabo rw'imyitozo. Kandi rifite imiterere y'umutekano n'isuku, kwambara neza, byoroshye gukoresha, kandi ntiribangamiwe n'aho imikino ibera. Rishobora kongera imbaraga zo guturika vuba, imbaraga zo gusimbuka no kumva, kongera kwihangana, imyitozo yo kurwana ishobora kongera umuvuduko wo gukubita no gutera imigeri, no kongera ubushobozi bwo kurwana.
Ikoti ripima uburemere rikoresha ubwoko bushya bw'ibikoresho bivanze, bifite imiterere mishya, bifite isura nziza, bifite amabara meza, bitagaragara, bishobora guhindurwa, birimo kole ihinduka, byoroshye kandi byegereye umubiri.
Ikoti ripima ibiro rikoreshwa cyane cyane mu gukora imyitozo ngororamubiri y'umugongo n'iy'urutugu, ibi bikaba bishobora kunoza imikorere y'imyitozo ngororamubiri n'ubushobozi bwayo, kandi bikagera ku ngaruka zo kunoza umubiri. Ikoti ripima ibiro ntirikwiriye kwambarwa igihe kirekire, ntirituma umubiri uhora mu muvuduko cyangwa mu muvuduko, bityo ni byiza kwambara iminota itarenze 30. Byongeye kandi, ugomba guhitamo ikoti ripima ibiro rifite uburemere bukwiye bitewe n'imimerere yawe, kugira ngo ritangiza umubiri wawe.
Amakoti aremereye ni ingirakamaro mu gukumira indwara ya osteoporosis, ariko ni byiza kugenda ahantu hari izuba rirenga, kuko gukora imyitozo ngororamubiri ku zuba bishobora kongera ubwiyongere bwa kalisiyumu mu magufwa no gukumira osteoporosis.
