Whole-body vibration exercise (WBVe) can provide proper somatosensory stimulation and
\nimprove muscle strength in stroke patients. This study investigated the effects of WBVe on
\ngait function and cortical activity in patients with chronic stroke. Thirty stroke patients were
\nrandomly assigned to either the WBVe or the control group. The WBVe group received the
\nvibration in a half-squat position for 5 minutes at an intensity of 20 Hz. The control group
\nkept the same posture but did not receive the vibration. Cortical activity was investigated
\nusing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Gait function was assessed by a 10-m
\nwalk test (10MWT), a timed up and go (TUG) test, a Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and a Tinetti
\nPerformance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (TPOMA). In group analysis of the fNIRS
\ndata, oxygenated hemoglobin concentration was significantly increased in the ipsilesional
\nsupplementary motor area, bilateral sensorimotor cortex, and contralesional prefrontal
\ncortex in the WBVe group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Functional assessment \ndemonstrated a significant interaction between time and group for the 10MWT and \nTUG test, suggesting that the WBVe group demonstrated meaningful improvement after \nintervention (p < 0.05). These results suggested that WBVe modulated the cerebral cortical \nactivities and resulted in improvement of gait function in chronic stroke patients\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
