Vibrotherapy can be used successfully in the rehabilitation of elderly people to counteract sarcopenia and restore muscle strength, as well as by athletes during the recovery period. When applied regularly, it improves a person’s motor properties. In most scientific papers, researchers have used vibration at frequencies of 30 to 50 Hz, lasting less than 20 […]

The aim of the clinical study, conducted by researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, was to determine the effects of long-term (20 weeks) whole-body vibration on muscle and bone health, motor performance and quality of life in young adults with mild to moderate cerebral palsy. The effect of vibration for 20 weeks […]
Epicondylitis lateralis humeri, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a very common condition. It is a typically overload injury – it is caused by overloading the extensor muscles of the wrist and fingers. The pain is located on the outside of the elbow joint, where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony […]
In the symptomatic treatment of many neuromuscular diseases (such as in the case of excessive, abnormal muscle tone, spasticity, torticollis, clubfoot, cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis) injection of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is used. BoNT lowers muscle tension. In order to achieve sustained improvement, in many cases repeated injections and high doses of BoNT must be […]
