Despite multiple preventive measures, 35.5% of cases of stage I pressure ulcers (PrU) worsen and progress to stage II or higher. This is mainly due to disturbances in the local microcirculation, which traditional PrU treatments are not best suited to deal with. Japanese researchers therefore attempted to develop a new methodology using therapeutic vibration, which, […]
As part of a multistage programme of cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction, there is growing interest in novel forms of rehabilitation that can effectively improve exercise tolerance and echocardiographic parameters in post-infarction patients. One potential approach is to use vibrotherapy as an adjunct to a standard rehabilitation programme. The aim of the present study was […]
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 […]
Arterial stiffness is a very serious health problem that can lead to dangerous consequences. Hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial hypertrophy, heart failure, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia or atherosclerosis are widely known consequences, with stroke and myocardial infarction being the most feared. Among the treatment methods, the importance of prevention is emphasised, reducing the risk of pathology and […]
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 […]
The studies conducted so far show that whole-body vibration increas skin blood flow (SBF). However, there are no studies comparing the effectiveness of different vibration parameters. Therefore, American scientists from Loma Linda University decided to test the effect of vibrations of different frequencies on SBF. Both the 30 Hz and 50 Hz vibrations applied to […]
The aim of the presented research was to assess the impact of a 5-week whole body vibration (WBV) training with different vibration parameters on factors regulating blood coagulability. The level of plasma fibrinogen (responsible for the increase in coagulation) and plasminogen (favoring the dissolution of blood clots), as well as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and […]
As recent studies show, vibrotherapy improves the aesthetics of appearance and can be successfully used in cosmetology. One of the basic applications of vibrotherapy could be the fight against cellulite, but the optimal vibration parameters still require research. Therefore, the aim of the presented work of scientists of the Academy of Physical Education in Krakow […]
The number of women suffering from lipoedema is constantly increasing. Conservative therapy involves manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), but this physiotherapeutic method does not always help, and its effectiveness depends on the severity and history of the disease. In view of the reports on the positive effect of vibrotherapy in reducing edema, scientists from RECON (Research […]
