Swedish researchers from the Department of Orthopedics at Sahlgrenska University Hospital examined blood flow in the vessels of the tibialis anterior muscle when vibration is applied to the foot. They tested photoplethysmography (PPG), a method that has been used before (this is 2003) to study flows, but not in the context of vibration exposure, which […]
Increased and prolonged physical exertion often causes delayed muscle soreness (“soreness”). This is caused by the development of inflammatory processes in response to mechanical damage to skeletal muscle. Muscle efficiency then decreases, and muscle mass and strength may also be reduced. Researchers from the University of Physical Education in Krakow, analyzing the concentrations of selected […]
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a serious rheumatic autoimmune disease affecting organ structure and functional activity. The aim of the Brazilian researchers, authors of the present report, was to evaluate the effect of 12-week vibration therapy in the form of whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) on fatigue, functional performance and quality of life in women with […]
Insomnia affects many people. Although non-pharmacological therapies, compared to pharmacotherapy, can produce long-term improvement with reduced risk of side effects, options for non-pharmacological treatment of insomnia are limited. Recently, research on the effects of rocking and mechanical whole-body vibration (WBV) on sleep has begun. Inspiration came from the everyday reality of car or train travel […]
Vibrotherapy can rapidly improve mobility in the shoulder joint and reduce pain in patients with frozen shoulder, giving it an advantage over conventional therapeutic methods. Frozen shoulder is characterized by soreness and limitation of elevation of the affected limb and external rotation of the shoulder in the absence of radiographic changes. It is a disease […]
Introduction The phenomenon of the drug cascade, otherwise known as the prescribing cascade, occurs when a doctor prescribes drugs to a patient for newly developed disease symptoms, that are, in effect, side effects of the previous drug. As a result of such an action, the patient is unnecessarily given additional drugs, which are also not […]
