The aim of the presented research by Taiwanese scientists was to analyze the effect of short-term vibration therapy in the form of whole-body vibration (WBV) on proprioception and motor functions in people with moderate Parkinson’s disease (PD). Both after WBV and conventional therapy, improvement in motor functions was achieved in patients with moderate PD. Prepared […]
Due to at least economic factors, there is a growing need for effective and simple therapies for the increasingly common musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, such as in the case of osteoporosis. Vibrotherapy seems extremely promising, at least for some patients, where therapeutic vibration (TV)* is increasingly used to improve bone structure and muscle performance. However, this […]
Local/ focal muscle vibration (FMV) is a non-invasive technique that in various studies has shown a positive effect on upper limb spasticity after stroke. However, different protocols used do not allow for comparisons between studies. It is still unclear, for example, whether agonistic or antagonistic muscles should be treated with local vibrotherapy to obtain better […]
Short-term whole body vibration (WBV) increases neuromuscular activation. Among the responsible mechanisms, the desensitization (reduction of sensitivity to excitation) of muscle spindles by local vibrations is postulated. In addition, it is believed that local vibrations, as well as WBV, contribute to a permanent reduction in the excitability of the spinal cord. This may be due […]
The aim of the study by Pakistani scientists from the University of Lahore was to determine the effect of vibrotherapy (whole body vibration, WBV) on gait in patients with the consequences of chronic stroke. Both after routine physiotherapy (RP) and after WBV, an improvement in mobility was observed compared to the state before the procedures […]
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the typical motor symptoms (tremor, muscle stiffness, bradykinesia) and cognitive impairment. Epidemiological data show that 30% of all PD cases are working people. Presented article focuses on the people with limb tremor (working and employed, in an active and productive phase of their life) and their ability to work, […]
After Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in elderly. The main symptoms relate to various aspects of the movement, such as slowing it down or inhibiting it’s initiation. There is also stiffness (abnormal muscle tone and limited mobility), tremors and postural instability. With several years of dopaminergic treatment, the […]
