During the first year after spinal cord injury, an electrophysiological index – the so-called Hoffmann reflex depression (H) – gradually disappears. This index is used to study the function of neuronal pathways and, in the case of spinal cord injury, reflects the reorganisation of its interneurons after the loss of descending inhibition from the cortex.

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, […]
Knee degeneration is a common orthopaedic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Although these degenerations are often associated with ageing, they can also occur in younger people for a variety of reasons. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms and available treatments for knee degeneration. Causes of knee osteoarthritis The causes of […]
Insomnia affects many people. Although non-pharmacological therapies, compared to pharmacotherapy, can produce long-term improvement with reduced risk of side effects, options for non-pharmacological treatment of insomnia are limited. Recently, research on the effects of rocking and mechanical whole-body vibration (WBV) on sleep has begun. Inspiration came from the everyday reality of car or train travel […]
Swedish researchers from the Department of Orthopedics at Sahlgrenska University Hospital examined blood flow in the vessels of the tibialis anterior muscle when vibration is applied to the foot. They tested photoplethysmography (PPG), a method that has been used before (this is 2003) to study flows, but not in the context of vibration exposure, which […]
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a serious rheumatic autoimmune disease affecting organ structure and functional activity. The aim of the Brazilian researchers, authors of the present report, was to evaluate the effect of 12-week vibration therapy in the form of whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) on fatigue, functional performance and quality of life in women with […]

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 […]
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 […]
