Cerebellar dysfunctions (such as in multiple sclerosis – MS) are often associated with impaired wrist movements (dysmetry), affecting the accuracy of fine movements. The aim of British scientists was to test whether vibrations (125 Hz; 0.75 mm), as a dermal-muscular and proprioceptive stimulation, could improve the accuracy of movement in disturbances of motor precision associated […]
Scientists from the medical university that awards the annual Nobel prizes in the field of physiology and medicine (Karolinska Institute, Sweden) aimed to study the brain patterns of activity as a result of hand stimulation by a vibration. In particular, the authors wanted to illustrate in positron emission tomography (PET) whether vibrational stimulation will cause […]
In sports, it is important to use short breaks to accelerate post-exercise recovery. Previous studies have revealed that: vibration can reduce post-exercise muscle soreness. However, there is still high heterogeneity in the effects of vibration on cardiovascular autonomic activities. Most studies to date have focused on high-frequency vibration. The findings of this study provide a […]
Study on the mechanism of regulating the hypothalamic cortical hormone releasing hormone/corticotropin releasing hormone type I receptor pathway by: vibro-annular abdominal massage under the brain–intestine interaction in the treatment of insomnia. Prepared on the basis of: Study on the mechanism of regulating the hypothalamic cortical hormone releasing hormone/corticotropin releasing hormone type I receptor pathway by […]
The study hypothesised that two CPT devices can be used safely in patients with CIED. To test this hypothesis, the study included 46 patients with CIEDs (25 pacemakers, 15 implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and six cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillators). Lead integrity parameters remained unchanged in all patients. It was therefore concluded that: CPT may be safely applied to […]
Vibration therapy as an intervention for enhancing trochanteric hip fracture healing in elderly patients: a randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Prepared on the basis of: Vibration therapy as an intervention for enhancing trochanteric hip fracture healing in elderly patients: a randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Wong R.M.Y., Chow S.K.H., Tang N. et al. Trials. 2021 […]
The study aimed to review and summarize the existing evidence on the effectiveness of vibration therapy (VT) compared with conventional rehabilitation in ACL-reconstructed patients. The methodology used included database search for published studies investigating the effects of VT. VT was found to significantly improve: hamstring peak torque, quadriceps peak torque. The study suggest that VT […]
The goal of American researchers was to evaluate the feasibility of a glove providing mechanical vibrotactile stimulation (VTS) of the hand, as well as the rehabilitation potential of the VTS glove in restoring hand function in people with chronic stroke. VTS glove improved skin tactile perception, decreased finger spasticity, as well as increased the range […]
The aim of the presented research by scientists from American universities was to test the concept of a vibrating wristband, a portable hand orthosis designed to improve the efficiency of a hand affected by functional impairment after a stroke. The authors referred to it as “TheraBracelet” (possibly short for “therapeutic bracelet”). They focused on demonstrating […]
The aim of the present work of Japanese scientists from the University of Kagoshima was to investigate the therapeutic vibration potential to inhibit upper limb spasticity in hemiplegic stroke patients. 5-minute vibration (91 Hz, 1 mm) improved the parameters of the F wave and MAS results, showing a significant reduction in spasticity immediately after its […]
