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 number of women suffering from lipoedema is constantly increasing. Conservative therapy involves manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), but this physiotherapeutic method does not always help, and its effectiveness depends on the severity and history of the disease. In view of the reports on the positive effect of vibrotherapy in reducing edema, scientists from RECON (Research […]
Whole body vibration (WBV) is a physiotherapeutic method that is currently gaining more and more popularity in the treatment of musculoskeletal system disturbances. Recent published results have shown that WBV can reduce low back pain and improve functional capacity, however, the optimal characteristics of therapeutic vibration parameters are unclear. Therefore, a Danish-Chinese team of researchers […]
The vibrations that surround us can be detected using sensitive skin mechanoreceptors. Strong vibrations can be harmful, but milder can have a positive effect on health, although the extent of this effect is still controversial. Whole-body vibration (WBV) can be provided, for example, by vibration platforms, used both in animal and human research. The presented […]
Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a form of training and physical therapy that uses mechanical vibrations to have a therapeutic effect on the human body. Scientific reports link WBV with the improvement in the functioning of muscles, skeleton, metabolism, physiological parameters, and even cognitive functions or quality of life. However, most publications on the use of […]
The scientific literature describes many techniques of manual respiratory physiotherapy that can be used for a variety of respiratory disorders. Manual respiratory physiotherapy is also proposed for respiratory problems in COVID-19. However, in the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 during manual physiotherapy stimulates consideration of automated techniques to be used (to prevent […]
