Whole body vibration in cystic fibrosis--a pilot study.
INTRODUCTION In cystic fibrosis (CF), bone mass deficits as well as a lack of muscle mass and force have been described. The bone mass deficits are thought to be at least in part secondary to the reduced muscle mass. Whole body vibration has recently been suggested as an effective technique to increase muscle force and power. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the compliance and safety...
متن کاملEffects of a short-term whole body vibration intervention on lean mass in elderly people.
OBJECTIVE To clarify whether a short-term whole body vibration (WBV) training has an effect on lean mass (LM) in the elderly. METHOD 49 non-institutionalized elderly (20 men) participated in the study. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the WBV or control group. A total of 24 elderly trained squat positioned on a vibration platform 3 times per week for 11 we...
متن کاملEffect of Whole Body Vibration Exercise in the Horizontal Direction on Balance and Fear of Falling in Elderly People: A Pilot Study
[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of whole body vibration exercise in the horizontal direction on balance and fear of falling in the elderly. [Methods] This study was a case series of 17 elderly individuals. Participants performed whole body vibration exercise in the horizontal direction using a whole body vibration device for 15 minutes a day, 3 times a ...
متن کاملFeasibility and effects of applying stochastic resonance whole-body vibration on untrained elderly: a randomized crossover pilot study
BACKGROUND Aging is associated with loss of balance and activity in daily life. It impacts postural control and increases the risk of falls. The current study was conducted to determine the feasibility and long-term impact of stochastic resonance whole-body vibration (SR-WBV) on static and dynamic balance and reaction time among elderly individuals. METHODS A randomized crossover pilot study ...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of whole body vibration in maintenance hemodialysis patients - A pilot study
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess safety and effectiveness of Whole Body Vibration exercise (WBV) to improve physical performance and parameters of inflammation in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). METHODS Prospective, open-label trial in n=14 patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Participants performed WBV twice weekly for 12 weeks before (n=8) or after (n=6) hemodialy...
