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 […]
In addition to its positive effects on strengthening immunity, exercise can help reduce the negative effects of pandemic stress and, if properly used, can have a significant impact on the mental health of many people around the world. In most countries, however, there is still a serious lack of will to create appropriate physical exercise […]
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 currently has the most negative impact on the health, economy and lifestyle of people worldwide. Scientists are looking for vaccines and drugs, and, as in the presented research, analyze the possibility of mechanical impact on SARS-CoV-2 molecules in order to destroy them. An international team of engineers, including those […]
{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 […]
Whole body vibration (WBV) training can affect the neuromuscular system even in unconscious patients because the signals affecting muscle contractions can be controlled by the spinal cord without the cerebral cortex involvement. In addition, as already shown in healthy volunteers, athletes, the elderly, and patients in various hospital departments outside the Intensive Care Units (ICU), […]
The scientific literature describes many techniques of manual respiratory physiotherapy that can be used for a variety of respiratory disorders. Manual respiratory physiotherapy is also proposed for respiratory problems in COVID-19. However, in the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 during manual physiotherapy stimulates consideration of automated techniques to be used (to prevent […]
Vibrotherapy has been used in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in order to facilitate the removal of the respiratory tract secretions. There are known manual techniques such as vibrations or tapping but also automated techniques with the use of oral devices, e.g. Flutter®, Acapella® or the positive expiratory pressure (PEP) device {Morrison and Milroy [2017] […]
Dyspnea, shortness of breath and inability to perform daily activities are the main concerns of COVID-19 patients. Physiotherapy can be an adequate reaction to those symptoms, that’s why scientists from Shahid Beheshti University (Tehran, Iran) presented the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation using a few physiotherapeutic techniques, with vibration among others, and exercise therapy in a […]
There is consistent evidence of the beneficial effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) in the rehabilitation of weaker patients, such as pain and fatigue relief in fibromyalgia or improvement in muscle mass, physical fitness, and quality of life in elderly sarcopenia patients. Therefore, it was decided to analyze the potential of WBV as a safe and […]
