Osteoporosis is a chronic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass which is currently challenging the American health care syste...
Acute exposure to microgravity does not influence the H-reflex with or without whole body vibration and does not cause vibration-specific changes in muscular activity.
PURPOSE: Many potential countermeasures for muscle and bone loss caused by exposure to microgravity require an uncompromised stretch re...
Vibration or Balance Training on Neuromuscular Performance in Osteopenic Women.
Maintaining neuromuscular function in older age is an important topic for aging societies, especially for older women with low bone den...
The effect of whole body vibration exposure on muscle function in children with cystic fibrosis: a pilot efficacy trial.
BACKGROUND: To examine the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) exposure on muscle function in children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Non...
Effects of Whole-Body Vibration on Muscle Architecture, Muscle Strength, and Balance in Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of whole-body vibration on lower limb muscle architecture, muscle st...
Whole-body vibration versus proprioceptive training on postural control in post-menopausal osteopenic women.
BACKGROUND: To prevent falls in the elderly, especially those with low bone density, is it necessary to maintain muscle coordination an...
Effect of whole body vibration training on mobility in children with cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled experimenter-blinded study.
Objective: To evaluate ambulatory function and leg muscle thickness after whole body vibration training in children with cerebral palsy...
Analysing gait using a force-measuring walkway: intrasession repeatability in healthy children and adolescents.
The goal of this study was to determine the repeatability of gait parameters measured by a force plate gait analysis system (Leonardo M...
Whole-body vibration training improves flexibility, strength profile of knee flexors, and hamstrings-to-quadriceps strength ratio in females.
OBJECTIVES: Short-term whole-body vibration training (WBVT) has emerged as an exercise method for improving neuromuscular performance a...
