Efficacy of a whole-body vibration intervention on functional performance of community-dwelling older adults
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate efficacy of a whole-body vibration (WBV) intervention on functional performan...
Calf muscle x-ray absorption is reduced in patients with chronic spinal cord injury, but not during 90 days of experimental bed rest
BACKGROUND:
Immobilisation leads to muscular atrophy. However, certain types of immobilisation, such as e.g. denervation can also caus...
Prevention of bone loss during 56 days of strict bed rest by side-alternating resistive vibration exercise
Bed rest is a recognized model for muscle atrophy and bone loss in space flight and in clinical medicine. We hypothesized that whole bo...
Age-Related Changes in Physical Function in Community-Dwelling People Aged 50-79 Years
We aimed to obtain the mean values for physical function tests in healthy community-dwelling people aged 50-79 years and to compare the...
The effects of whole-body vibration training in aging adults: a systematic review
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Whole-body vibration (WBV), has become increasingly popular as a form of exercise training. WBV involves the ap...
The effect of whole body vibration exposure on muscle or bone morphology and function in older adults: A systematic review of the literature
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of whole body vibration (WBV), a novel exercise modality, on mus...
Tilt vibratory exercise improves the dynamic balance in fibromyalgia: A randomized controlled trial
OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of tilt whole-body vibration for improving dynamic balance in women with fibromyal...
