The goal of Brazilian researchers at the Federal University of Paraíba was to compare the acute effect of isometric abdominal exercise performed with or without vibration on electromyographic (EMG) activity and skin temperature around the abdomen in physically active people. The vibrations given during isometric abdominal exercises proved to be safe and did not affect […]
Treatment of osteoporotic bones after fractures is difficult due to osteoporotic disorders of bone formation, angiogenesis and bone mineralization, negatively influencing the healing. Since previous preclinical (animal) studies have shown that low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) accelerates the healing of osteoporotic fractures, researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong planned to study the effect of […]
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 […]
In sports, it is important to use short breaks to accelerate post-exercise recovery. Previous studies have revealed that: vibration can reduce post-exercise muscle soreness. However, there is still high heterogeneity in the effects of vibration on cardiovascular autonomic activities. Most studies to date have focused on high-frequency vibration. The findings of this study provide a […]
Study on the mechanism of regulating the hypothalamic cortical hormone releasing hormone/corticotropin releasing hormone type I receptor pathway by: vibro-annular abdominal massage under the brain–intestine interaction in the treatment of insomnia. Prepared on the basis of: Study on the mechanism of regulating the hypothalamic cortical hormone releasing hormone/corticotropin releasing hormone type I receptor pathway by […]
The study hypothesised that two CPT devices can be used safely in patients with CIED. To test this hypothesis, the study included 46 patients with CIEDs (25 pacemakers, 15 implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and six cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillators). Lead integrity parameters remained unchanged in all patients. It was therefore concluded that: CPT may be safely applied to […]
Vibration therapy as an intervention for enhancing trochanteric hip fracture healing in elderly patients: a randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Prepared on the basis of: Vibration therapy as an intervention for enhancing trochanteric hip fracture healing in elderly patients: a randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Wong R.M.Y., Chow S.K.H., Tang N. et al. Trials. 2021 […]
The study aimed to review and summarize the existing evidence on the effectiveness of vibration therapy (VT) compared with conventional rehabilitation in ACL-reconstructed patients. The methodology used included database search for published studies investigating the effects of VT. VT was found to significantly improve: hamstring peak torque, quadriceps peak torque. The study suggest that VT […]
The goal of American researchers was to evaluate the feasibility of a glove providing mechanical vibrotactile stimulation (VTS) of the hand, as well as the rehabilitation potential of the VTS glove in restoring hand function in people with chronic stroke. VTS glove improved skin tactile perception, decreased finger spasticity, as well as increased the range […]
