Osteoporosis is an important public health issue that may result in a high fracture risk in the elderly population. There is general consensus that physical exercise decreases the risk of osteoporotic fractures by reducing the risk of falls and increasing bone strength. Although long-term high-intensity exercise programs have been shown to be successful in early post-menopausal women, a high-intensity exercise program appears to be less attractive to older post-menopausal women and may cause a lack of compliance in the long term and result in injury. Some studies have described falls and fractures as side effects of exercise.Whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy is an easy-to-apply alternative therapy for those who do not wish to initiate or continue pharmacological treatments and cannot perform high-impact exercises and is associated with high patient compliance. WBV therapy is among the promising new interventions for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and is defined as mechanical vibration applied in a standing or supine position without any restrictions on frequency (hertz), amplitude (millimeters), magnitude (vibration acceleration due to gravity, g) and cumulative WBV dose. The evidence obtained from animal studies have shown that WBV can be an effective method for increasing bone mass and improving bone structure and strength. Some human studies have shown that WBV can positively affect BMD and improve neuromuscular parameters associated with falls in post-menopausal women.Small changes in posture can have a significant effect on the extent to which a plantar-based mechanical stimulus is actually transmitted to the spine or hip; the stimulus is likely to be weakened by the inevitable changes in posture, which occur due to aging and osteoporosis. For these reasons, we aimed to examine the effect of high frequency and low-magnitude horizontal vibration therapy in post-menopausal women without being affected by posture in the present study.
Whole body vibration therapy is rapidly becoming a topic of interest for the researchers around the world. Evidence suggests that Whole body vibration has an effect on improving flexibility of hamstring muscle and balance in athletes. The purpose was to examine the effect of low amplitude Whole body vibration on the flexibility of hamstring muscle and improving balance in athletes of Pakistan
The aim of this study was to investigate short and long-term effects of Whole Body Vibration therapy on spasticity and motor performance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Twenty-six patients undergoing conventional physiotherapy in a private rehabilitation center were included in the study. Patients were randomized to treatment and control groups. Study was completed with a total of 22 cases (11 for each group). At the beginning of the study, cases were evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88, LEGSys Spatio-Temporal Gait Analyzer, SportKAT550tm Portable Computerized Kinesthetic Balance Device and Modified Ashworth Scale. Cases in the treatment group were treated with Compex-Winplate for 8 weeks, 3 times a week, 15 minutes a day in one session. All cases were reevaluated immediately after the treatment and 12 weeks after the treatment.
Whole Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT) has been identified as a useful tool to increase peripheral blood flow. The present study aimed at how dynamic exercises with WBVT immediate effect on hemodynamic response and fatigue parameters in patients with obesity.
