Whole body vibration (WBV) is a physiotherapeutic method that is currently gaining more and more popularity in the treatment of musculoskeletal system disturbances. Recent published results have shown that WBV can reduce low back pain and improve functional capacity, however, the optimal characteristics of therapeutic vibration parameters are unclear. Therefore, a Danish-Chinese team of researchers […]
The presented report describes a 52-year-old woman suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy. The patient complained of sleep disturbances, pain and tingling in the feet, and constant stress related to the fear of falling during everyday walking. Since the treatment used did not help significantly, scientists from the University of Medical Sciences […]
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, […]
{The beneficial effect of whole-body vibration on fitness seems to be well-established in the literature, while its influence on the psyche is still under investigation. Therapeutic vibrations can be generated in several ways, for example: manually (by a physiotherapist) or by mechanical wave, including a sound wave. Editorial note} The aim of Japanese scientists from […]
Vibration is increasingly being used as a form of adjuvant therapy to relieve pain and improve functioning in adult low back pain (LBP) patients. Vibration stimulation can change the pattern of muscle activity and thus improve and strengthen the mobility of various elements of the skeleton, including the lumbar spine (LS), relieving LBP. Backache is […]
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 […]
Disturbances in gait, posture and balance found in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients significantly reduce their mobility, activity, deprive them of independence and lower quality of life. Vibrotherapy, which in many studies improves motor functions, is often used as a non-pharmacological form of rehabilitation. The aim of the presented research was to analyze the effect of […]
