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...
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...
Lower-limb muscle atrophy and effect of resistive vibration exercise during 56-day bed-rest
Objectives:
Developing more efficient countermeasures for the maintenance of muscle and muscle function in spaceflight is a priority f...
55-days bed rest with and without vibration exercise countermeasure: effects on human muscle protein dysregulation
Prolonged bed rest is often adopted as a model for the study of the effects of microgravity in humans, particularly on muscle mass, fib...
Increased Homer 2a/b expression by Resistive Vibration Exercise (RVE) in unloaded human soleus (SOL) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscle biopsies
Introduction:
The molecular mechanisms of human skeletal muscle adaptation following prolonged disuse are still largely unknown. Recen...
Evidence for an additional effect of whole-body vibration above resistive exercise alone in preventing bone loss during prolonged bed-rest
Prior work suggests that the addition of whole-body vibration to high-load resistive exercise (RVE) may be more effective in preventing...
