Many people experience vibration effects on whole-body throughout their lives frequently. Vibrating energy absorbed is exposed all-body caused with vibration hazard in the vertically on body and biodynamic responses from body in speed 2.37 to 5.14 m/s could captivate with car seat on user body, so the vibration energy transferred to a seated people body. In this paper, the human body is modeled...

To develop advanced multi-modal displays, it is important that various sensory information is presented with proper amount. Previous studies have pointed out that vibration information enhances participants’ immersive experience from virtual display. Therefore, vibration information should be considered when people develop advanced multimedia systems. We have focused on the effect of full-body ...

SIR—Brooke-Wavell and Mansfield rightly point out that whole body vibration exercise may prove useful for older people who cannot perform conventional exercise [1]. Perhaps its greatest attraction to clinicians is that it involves minimal active movement by the participant, such that it has potential for use in the rehabilitation of very immobile patients who are not improving with more convent...

[Purpose] To review and assess the effectiveness of whole body vibration therapy on the physical function of patients with type II diabetes mellitus. [Subjects and Methods] A computerized database search was performed through PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and the reference lists of all relevant articles. The met...

BACKGROUND whole-body vibration training may improve neuromuscular function, falls risk and bone density, but previous studies have had conflicting findings. OBJECTIVE this study aimed to evaluate the influence of vertical vibration (VV) and side-alternating vibration (SV) on musculoskeletal health in older people at risk of falls. DESIGN single-blind, randomised, controlled trial comparing...
