Effects of Whole-body Vibration in a Low Frequency Range

The Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Mobility and Balance in Parkinson Disease: a Systematic Review

Whole body vibration (WBV) is a contemporary treatment modality that holds promise as an exercise training method in health–compromised individuals. A growing number of studies on individuals with Parkinson Disease are examining whether WBV improves balance and functional mobility. However, interpreting WBV studies is challenging since there is variability in the manner in which WBV interventio...

Immediate effect of whole body vibration on trunk proprioception in non-specific chronic low back pain

Introduction: The available data indicate that there is a relationship between proprioception deficit and low back pain. For this reason, proprioception exercises are usually part of the rehabilitation protocols for these patients. Previous studies revealed that whole body vibration (WBV) can improve muscle performance and proprioception. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of WBV o...

Effects of whole-body vibration training on muscle strength and flexibility: significance of the vibration frequency

Strength training effects of whole-body vibration?

Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been suggested to have a beneficial effect on muscle strength. Manufacturers of vibration platforms promote WBV as an effective alternative or complement to resistance training. This study aimed to review systematically the current (August 2005) scientific support for effects of WBV on muscle strength and jump performance. MEDLINE and SPORT DISCUS were searched fo...

Low-magnitude high-frequency loading, by whole-body vibration, accelerates early implant osseointegration in ovariectomized rats

Osteoporosis deteriorates jaw bone quality and may compromise early implant osseointegration and early implant loading. The influence of low‑magnitude, high‑frequency (LMHF) vibration on peri‑implant bone healing and implant integration in osteoporotic bones remains poorly understood. LMHF loading via whole‑body vibration (WBV) for 8 weeks has previously been demonstrated to significantly enhan...
