The aim of the presented research by German scientists was to test the effectiveness of a 12-week whole-body vibration training (WBVT) in the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinitis. For comparative purposes, the effects of 12-week conventional eccentric training or the lack of therapeutic intervention during this period were also analyzed in this context. Pain symptoms, […]
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 […]
The fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) manifests itself as chronic and widespread pain, inflammation of the nervous system and mild systemic inflammation, as well as muscle dysfunction. In addition, depression, sleep disturbances, decreased physical functioning and quality of life are common. A key signaling molecule involved in central and peripheral changes related to pathological conditions responsible for […]
Pain in the lower back is often caused by nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) of unknown etiology. It is not a separate disease entity, but a symptom such as pain or dizziness. In NSLBP, impaired proprioception is observed, i.e. impaired processing of joints positions and movements information by the central nervous system. Moreover, decreased lumbar […]
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 […]
The iliotibial band (ITB) – a high-density fibrous connective tissue that begins with the tensor fasciae latae (TFL), part of the gluteal muscle and iliac crest, and covers the hip and knee joints. Inflammation of ITB as a result of excessive training can cause injuries in athletes or military who often repeat the same movements. […]
Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) has great potential in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), positively affecting physical fitness. This may be due to the beneficial action on balance. This hypothesis was tested by German scientists from the University of Marburg, the Technical University of Munich and the Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land, […]
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 […]
The aim of Turkish scientists was to compare the effects of treadmill training (TT) vs TT + whole-body vibration training (WBVT) on the attention, executive dysfunction, quality of life and severity of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) symptoms. By the end of the training programs, all traits tested had improved significantly after both TT or […]
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 […]
