After Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in elderly. The main symptoms relate to various aspects of the movement, such as slowing it down or inhibiting it’s initiation. There is also stiffness (abnormal muscle tone and limited mobility), tremors and postural instability. With several years of dopaminergic treatment, the […]
Disturbances in gait, posture and balance found in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients significantly reduce their mobility, activity, deprive them of independence and lower quality of life. Vibrotherapy, which in many studies improves motor functions, is often used as a non-pharmacological form of rehabilitation. The aim of the presented research was to analyze the effect of […]
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, […]
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 […]
