Neuromuscular performance and bone structural characteristics in young healthy men and women
Muscle mass and strength have been shown to be important factors in bone strength. Low muscular force predisposes to falling especially...
Reporting whole-body vibration intervention studies: Recommendations of the International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions
Whole-body vibration (WBV) is receiving increasing interest as a therapeutic modality to improve neuromuscular performance or to increa...
Comparing muscle temperature during static and dynamic squatting with and without whole-body vibration
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of shallow dynamic squatting (DS) versus static squatting (SS) with or without c...
Muscle tissue oxygenation and VEGF in VO-matched vibration and squatting exercise
Exposure to vibration has traditionally been associated with compromised perfusion. This study investigated whether blood supply during...
Whole body vibration as an adjunct to static stretching
This study was a randomized control trial. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine if stretching the hamstrings during w...
Jumping mechanography: a potential tool for sarcopenia evaluation in older individuals
Muscular function declines with advancing age and is associated with increased risk for falls and fragility fractures. No single method...
Physical therapy approaches to reduce fall and fracture risk among older adults
Falls and fall-related injuries, such as fractures, are a growing problem among older adults, often causing longstanding pain, function...
Vibration effects on static balance and strength
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a vibration training protocol and a conventional strength training program ...
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...
Effect of a new physiotherapy concept on bone mineral density, muscle force and gross motor function in children with bilateral cerebral palsy
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a new physiotherapy concept on bone density, muscle force and motor...
