Stroke Clinical Trial
Official title:
Application of Vertical Whole Body Vibration in Stroke Patients: Neuromuscular Effects, and Clinical Efficacy
This study is a randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the efficacy of a 10-week whole body vibration training program on physical functioning, societal participation and quality of life in individuals with chronic stroke. It is hypothesized that the whole body vibration program will induce significantly more gain in physical functioning, societal participation, and quality of life in chronic stroke patients, compared with the control group.
