Effects of whole-body vibration on quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled study

Abstract Background Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) enormously affects the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. It causes weakness in affected lower-extremity muscles addition to muscle imbalance inadequate power production, especially ankle plantar-flexor knee extensor also anomalous delayed myoelectrical action of medial hamstring. A whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise can diminish spasticity improve walking speed, strength, gross motor function without causing unfavorable impacts adults suffering from CP. Thus, aim this study is investigate WBV training associated with conventional physical therapy on endurance, children hemiparetic Results The post-intervention values force, were significantly higher than pre-intervention for both groups ( p = 0.001). group control (quadriceps 0.015; 0.030; 0.025; power, 0.014). Conclusion 8 weeks that was added traditional more successful improving CP when compared alone.
