VIPR- Vibration Induced Parkinson’s Relief

Reprint: Finite Element Modeling of Vibration Stress Relief after Welding

A finite element model was developed to simulate the vibratory stress relief after welding. Both resonant and nonresonant vibrations can relieve residual stresses in welded structures by creating plastic deformation around the weld area. For the non-resonant vibration, the stress reduction strongly depends on the vibration amplitude. For the resonant vibration, the vibration frequency is the ke...

Mechanisms of pain relief by vibration and movement.

Mechanisms of pain relief induced by vibration and movement were investigated. A CO2 laser beam, which is useful for pure nociceptive stimulation, was used for recording pain-related somatosensory evoked potentials (pain SEPs) and for measuring pain threshold and reaction time (RT). Concurrently applied vibratory stimuli to and active movements of the fingers significantly reduced and prolonged...

Vibration induced injury.

Vibration-induced postural posteffects.

It generally is known that vibration of various muscles in free-standing subjects evokes a spatially oriented postural response. Furthermore, it recently has been shown that when a vibratory stimulus is terminated, a powerful involuntary contraction of the previously vibrated muscle often occurs that, under the isotonic condition, is accompanied by movement of a limb. The aim of this study was ...
