Evaluation Method of Immediate Effect of Local Vibratory Stimulation on Proprioceptive Control Strategy: A Pilot Study

Postural instability owing to poor proprioception is considered a main cause of low back pain and falls. However, the effect local vibratory stimulation on proprioceptor proprioceptive control strategy has yet be evaluated. Therefore, in this study, we proposed an evaluation method immediate strategies by applying proprioceptor. First, using our device, determined proprioceptors each six elderly patients with non-specific pain. Furthermore, applied Finally, compared before after stimulation. As result, improved for three impaired muscle spindles that responded higher frequency (p < 0.05). Thus, caused decline spindle responding might it was shown developed device protocol used evaluate within multiple ranges, as well activate based diagnosis improve strategies.
