Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this proposal is to understand how the Vibrant Health Ultimate whole-body vibration (WBV) machine affects pain and inflammation in older adults. The investigators' hypothesize that sub-acute (12 weeks) WBV will lead to improvement in the level of knee pain and improve vascular function via a decrease in systemic inflammation.


Clinical Trial Description

Knee osteoarthritis (KO) is a leading cause of disability and medical cost. Whole body vibration (WBV) has emerged as an exercise alternative that may be more tolerable than traditional forms of exercise, such as treadmill walking/running or cycling. Similar to traditional exercise, research supports that WBV can be very beneficial for your health. In fact, a single bout of WBV increases circulating concentrations of inflammatory markers. WBV is safe and effective, WBV training has been conducted in obesity, elderly, patients with diabetes, patients with lung disease, as well as patients with knee osteoarthritis. ;
