Good vibrations
\nIn the new study, 42 volunteers in a nursing home were randomized to a vibration group or a
\nnontreatment group for 6 weeks. The treatment group underwent 6 weeks of CWBV (4 oneminute
\nseries 3 times a week) on a vertical vibrating platform (10 Hz in the first and third
\nseries and 27 Hz in the second and fourth ones). The machine used was the Galileo 900\u00ae
\n(Orthometrix Inc, White Plains, NY).
\nAfter 6 weeks of therapy, patients in the vibrating group showed:
\n\u2022 143% improvement in physical function.
\n\u2022 41% improvement in pain.
\n\u2022 60% increase in vitality.
\n\u2022 23% improvement in general health.
\n\u2022 57% improvement in quality of walking as assessed by the Tinetti test (compared with
\na 2% improvement in control subjects).
\n\u2022 77% improvement in equilibrium (compared with 1% worsening in controls).
\n\u2022 39% decrease in time required to get up and go (compared with an increase of 14%
\namong controls).
\nWhile it was only a small study, ‘after just 3 weeks or 9 sessions, we saw a great
\nimprovement in get-up-and-go,’ Bruyere tells rheumawire. ‘Longer studies are needed,’ he
\nadds. Patients in the new study also did about 10 minutes a day of classical physical exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
