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 […]
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 […]
Whole-body vibration (WBV) training, as a passive method of musculo-circulatory activation, seems to be a good alternative to conventional physical training for elderly with balance disorders and a high risk of falls. What interested the German researchers, the authors of the presented report, was the comparison of the effects of vibrations with different physical parameters. […]
The intravenous injection of propofol (a strong anesthetic) is often accompanied by pain. Since in dentistry, vibration is already used to reduce local pain associated with injections, American scientists decided to investigate the effectiveness of vibration analgesia for pain also during ambulatory injections of propofol. Due to the use of vibrations, during the injection of […]
Plastic surgery procedures are often accompanied by severe pain and pharmacological methods of reducing pain are often ineffective. However, there are reports that therapeutic vibration can be a safe and easy-to-use method of reducing pain. Therefore, scientists from the Michigan State University (USA) investigated the effectiveness of vibration in reducing pain in clinical plastic surgery. […]
The presented research focuses on the case of chronic idiopathic superior laryngeal nerve paresis (SLNp) treated with an innovative method of voice therapy – Novafon Local Vibration Voice Therapy (NLVVT). It was assumed that local vibrations of the cricothyroid muscle and its nerve endings during vocal exercises would improve the voice functioning in SLNp. NLVVT […]
Cerebral palsy (CP) contributes to permanent but not unchanging physical disability in childhood and adolescence. Although children with CP show some age-dependent gross motor and gait development, CP-induced muscle paresis and spasticity lead to bone deformation, loss of muscle volume, contractures, and patient dependence on care. Since there are reports that gait training can improve […]
Cerebellar dysfunctions (such as in multiple sclerosis – MS) are often associated with impaired wrist movements (dysmetry), affecting the accuracy of fine movements. The aim of British scientists was to test whether vibrations (125 Hz; 0.75 mm), as a dermal-muscular and proprioceptive stimulation, could improve the accuracy of movement in disturbances of motor precision associated […]
Scientists from the medical university that awards the annual Nobel prizes in the field of physiology and medicine (Karolinska Institute, Sweden) aimed to study the brain patterns of activity as a result of hand stimulation by a vibration. In particular, the authors wanted to illustrate in positron emission tomography (PET) whether vibrational stimulation will cause […]
