Vibration therapy can reduce abnormal involuntary movements associated with long-term treatment of Parkinson’s disease and peripheral oedema occurring in 5-15% of patients. The physical activity of patients with chronic diseases, i.e. Parkinson’s disease, is very low. They tend to be older people with sedentary lifestyles, cardiovascular and rheumatological diseases, which limits their physical activity. Vibrotherapy […]
Epicondylitis lateralis humeri, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a very common condition. It is a typically overload injury – it is caused by overloading the extensor muscles of the wrist and fingers. The pain is located on the outside of the elbow joint, where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony […]
Human activity cause earth vibrations, which propagate in the ground as high-frequency seismic waves. Stop of this activity before COVID-19 pandemic and the biggest lockdown in human history in March-May 2020 period influence on reduction of anthropogenic seismic noise (ASS) by 50%, an event never seen before on such a scale. That seismic silencing, biggest […]
The use of segmental local vibrotherapy in combination with botulinum toxin injections reduced spasticity of the knee and ankle joint in people with multiple sclerosis. The positive effects of both therapies: vibrotherapy and botulinum toxin used together or separately were observed three months after treatment. Spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis should be carefully analysed […]
The aim of the study conducted by the Polish researchers was to identify the optimum parameters of vibrotherapy, such as frequency, duration of treatment and body position, which can be an effective form of regeneration after intense and prolonged physical exertion. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica 13. The study was approved by the Bioethics […]
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that can occur in patients on haemodialysis. The occurrence of RLS interferes with sleep and rest, consequently leading to reduced functionality, interference with work activities and family life. Therefore, Iranian researchers investigated the effect of vibrotherapy – a physical therapy method that affects the neuromuscular system – […]
Based on a peer-reviewed paper (Acute Care 2018). The advantage of vibrotherapy over other rehabilitation methods is manifested in its comprehensive effect. In one go, we get an increase in microcirculation, a reduction in oedema, a reduction in pain and a reduction in stiffness. The aim of the study, published in the journal Acute Care […]
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), functional capacity is often impaired and patients are forced to lead sedentary lifestyles; in addition, they often take medication with negative effects on bone mass. Researchers at the South African public university in Johannesburg therefore investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) therapy, considered a passive substitute for physical activity, […]
During the first year after spinal cord injury, an electrophysiological index – the so-called Hoffmann reflex depression (H) – gradually disappears. This index is used to study the function of neuronal pathways and, in the case of spinal cord injury, reflects the reorganisation of its interneurons after the loss of descending inhibition from the cortex. […]
The elderly need an appropriate rehabilitation program and physioprophylaxis so the aging process went off in a satisfactory way. Vibration training uses a vibrational mechanical stimulus which affects metabolic processes and health like other forms of physical activity. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of 30 vibration treatments on body fat, […]
