Background Physical therapy (PT) is one of the key disciplines in interdisciplinary stroke
rehabilitation. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an update of the evidence for …

Whilst exposure to vibration is traditionally regarded as perilous, recent research has
focussed on potential benefits. Here, the physical principles of forced oscillations are …

The aim of this review was to examine the physiological effects of vibration exercise (VbX),
including the cardiovascular indices and to elucidate its potential use for those with …

Objective This systematic review was conducted to examine the effects of whole-body
vibration training on motor impairments among patients with neurological disorders and to …

Low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis are health concerns among older adults
and individuals with physical, neurological, and/or mobility impairments. Detrimental …

The effect of whole‐body vibration dosage on leg blood flow was investigated. Nine healthy
young adult males completed a set of 14 random vibration and non‐vibration exercise bouts …

INTRODUCTION: To date endurance and strength training are established and evidence-
based exercise methods in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) …

Exercise combined with whole body vibration (WBV) is becoming increasingly popular,
although additional effects of WBV in comparison to conventional exercises are still …

Purpose Vibratory stimuli enhance muscle activity and may be used for rehabilitation and
performance enhancement. Efficacy of vibration varies with the frequency of stimulation, but …

Purpose: Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) often have involuntary, reflex-evoked
