One of the most serious complications of poorly treated diabetes is diabetic foot syndrome. It appears as the presence of an infected ulcer (wound) with features of neuropathy and impaired blood flow, which are not only the most important pathological factors leading to the formation of a foot ulcer, but also responsible for the deterioration […]
Whole-body vibration training (WBVT; a type of vibrotherapy) is often used in addition to conventional physical training, to improve skeletal muscle strength in both sports and rehabilitation. Recent studies have also shown that WBVT can be a useful form of exercise for improving cardiovascular function in the elderly and weak. However, the mechanisms underlying the […]
Medicine is still looking for effective therapeutic methods to prevent involutional changes, i.e. changes related to the loss of function or tissue atrophy. Vibrotherapy can be a promising form of systemic rehabilitation in this context, including oscillatory-cycloidal vibrotherapy (VOC), which Polish scientists from the A. Frycz Modrzewski Krakow Academy and the Medical University of Silesia […]
Nowadays there is still a great need to improve non-invasive techniques to restore proper circulation after a heart attack. Low frequency vibrations have previously been observed to help clear blood clots in catheter systems and also to stimulate the coronary circulation if delivered to the heart in the diastolic phase. In a presented article, scientists […]
{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 […]
It is widely accepted that physical activity is an effective therapeutic strategy in preventing and inhibiting the development of cardiovascular diseases. Recently, in the context of rehabilitation of the elderly, attention has been drawn to a specific “substitute” of physical activity – vibrotherapy. Whole body vibration (WBV) has the potential to replace physical activity by […]
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, […]
