Koh ES, Lim JY. Impacts of whole-body vibration on denervated skeletal-muscle atrophy in rats. J Orthop Res 2023; 41:2579-2587. [PMID: 37132369 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
Whole-body vibration has been considered as a countermeasure against muscle atrophy. However, its effects on muscle atrophy are poorly understood. We evaluated the effects of whole-body vibration on denervated skeletal muscle atrophy. Whole-body vibration was performed on rats from Day 15 to 28 after denervation injury. Motor performance was evaluated using an inclined-plane test. Compound muscle action potentials of the tibial nerve were examined. Muscle wet weight and muscle fiber cross-sectional area were measured. Myosin heavy chain isoforms were analyzed in both muscle homogenates and single myofibers. Whole-body vibration resulted in a significantly decreased inclination angle and muscle weight, but not muscle fiber cross-sectional area of fast-twitch gastrocnemius compared to denervation only. In denervated gastrocnemius, a fast-to-slow shift was observed in myosin heavy chain isoform composition following whole-body vibration. There were no significant changes in muscle weight, muscle fiber cross-sectional area, and myosin heavy chain isoform composition in denervated slow-twitch soleus. These results imply that whole-body vibration does not promote recovery of denervation-induced muscle atrophy.

Mobility and balance rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis. Mult Scler Relat Disord 2023; 69:104424. [PMID: 36473240 DOI: 10.1016/j.msard.2022.104424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the benefits of neurological rehabilitation and the dose-response relationship for the treatment of mobility and balance in multiple sclerosis. METHODS We included studies investigating the effects of neurological rehabilitation on mobility and balance with the following eligibility criteria for inclusion: Population, People with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS); Intervention, method of rehabilitation interventions; Comparison, experimental (specific balance intervention) vs control (no intervention/no specific balance intervention); Outcome, balance clinical scales; Study Design, randomised controlled trials. We conducted a random effects dose-response meta-analysis to assess linear trend estimations and a one stage linear mixed effects meta-regression for estimating dose-response curves. RESULTS We retrieved 196 studies from a list of 5020 for full text review and 71 studies (n subjects=3306) were included. One study was a cross-over and 70 studies were randomized controlled trials and the mean sample size per study was 46.5 ± 28.6 (mean±SD) with a mean age of 48.3 ± 7.8years, disease duration of 11.6 ± 6.1years, and EDSS of 4.4 ± 1.4points. Twenty-nine studies (40.8%) had the balance outcome as the primary outcome, while 42 studies (59.1%) had balance as secondary outcome or did not specify primary and secondary outcomes. Thirty-three trials (46.5%) had no active intervention as comparator and 38 trials (53.5%) had an active control group. Individual level data from 20 studies (n subjects=1016) were analyzed showing a medium pooled effect size for balance interventions (SMD=0.41; 95% CIs 0.22 to 0.59). Moreover, we analyzed 14 studies (n subjects=696) having balance as primary outcome and BBS as primary endpoint yielding a mean difference of 3.58 points (95% CIs 1.79 to 5.38, p<0.0001). Finally, we performed meta regression of the 20 studies showing an association between better outcome, log of intensity defined as minutes per session (β=1.26; SEβ=0.51; p = 0.02) and task-oriented intervention (β=0.38; SEβ=0.17; p = 0.05). CONCLUSION Our analyses provide level 1 evidence on the effect of balance intervention to improve mobility. Furthermore, according to principles of neurological rehabilitation, high intensity and task-specific interventions are associated with better treatment outcomes.

Abstract
There is scientific evidence that Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) is beneficial in healthy people, the elderly and patients with musculoskeletal disorders. A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of BFR in patients with neurological disorders. The literature search was conducted up until July 2022 in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), LILACS, Scopus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Literature Complete (CINAHL), the Cochrane Library and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The PEDro scale was used to analyze the methodological quality of the studies, and the Cochrane Collaboration's tool was employed to evaluate the risk of bias. A total of seven articles were included. BFR seems to be beneficial in neurological disorders. Improvements have been found in sensorimotor function, frequency and step length symmetry, perceived exertion, heart rate and gait speed, walking endurance, fatigue, quality of life, muscles thickness, gluteus density and muscle edema. No improvements were found in lower limb strength or balance. However, results must be taken with caution due to the small number of articles and to the large heterogeneity. More clinical trials are needed. These studies should homogenize the protocols used in larger samples, as well as improve their methodological quality.

Abstract
Background Vibration therapy is one of the rehabilitation programs that may be effective in treating both motor and non-motor symptoms in Multiple Sclerosis patients. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of vibration therapy on motor and non-motor symptoms (functional mobility, balance, walking endurance, gait speed, fatigue, and quality of life) of this population. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Scopus, Google Search Engine, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Two reviewers independently assessed the study quality. Results Fourteen studies with 393 participants were finally included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that vibration therapy had a significant advantage over the control intervention in improving balance function [mean difference (MD) = 2.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.24-3.84, P = 0.03], and walking endurance (SMD = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.07-0.61, P = 0.01). Meanwhile, the degree of disability subgroup analysis revealed that the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score (3.5-6) significantly improved functional mobility (MD: -1.18, 95% CI: -2.09 to 0.28, P = 0.01) and balance function (MD: 3.04, 95% CI: 0.49-5.59, P = 0.02) compared with the control group, and the EDSS (0-3.5) were more beneficial in walking endurance. The duration subgroup analysis indicated a significant difference in the effect of the duration (<4 weeks) on enhancing walking endurance (SMD: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.04-0.87, P = 0.03). However, no significant improvement was found in functional mobility, gait speed, fatigue, and quality of life. Conclusion Vibration therapy may improve balance function and walking endurance, and the degree of disability and duration of intervention may affect outcomes. The evidence for the effects of vibration therapy on functional mobility, gait speed, fatigue, and quality of life remains unclear. More trials with rigorous study designs and a larger sample size are necessary to provide this evidence.

Abstract
Purpose Patients with diabetic neuropathy usually suffer from impaired balance, pain, and decreased sole-foot sensation. The present research was designed to appraise the relic of whole-body vibration (WBV) on balance, pain, and sole-foot sensation in diabetic neuropathy patients. Methods Present study was a single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. Thirty-four patients with type 2 diabetic neuropathy were randomly divided into intervention groups (n=17) and control (n=17). The therapeutic program in the intervention group included standing on the platform of the WBV device, and in the control group included using the device in off mode. Dynamic balance (including overall, anterior-posterior, and medial-lateral stability indices) was measured using Biodex device, functional balance with timed up and go (TUG) test, pain using the visual analog scale (VAS), and sole-foot sensation of both feet with a monofilament. The outcomes were measured in both groups before and after the interventions. Results Sixteen people in each group were analyzed. Intra-group comparison showed a significant improvement in the mean pain (P = 0.000), functional balance (P = 0.011), right and left sole-foot sensation (P = 0.001), and overall (P = 0.000), anterior-posterior (P = 0.000) and medial-lateral (P = 0.000) stability indices for the intervention group in post-intervention compared to pre-intervention. However, changes in the control group were not statistically significant. Results of inter-group comparison indicated a significant improvement in all parameters in the intervention group, except for functional balance. Conclusion WBV can be effective in reducing pain and improving the sole-foot sensation and dynamic balance.

Immediate Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Associated with Squatting Exercises on Hemodynamic Parameters in Sarcopenic Older People: A Randomized Controlled Trial. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph182211852. [PMID: 34831608 PMCID: PMC8617886 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182211852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Whole-body vibration (WBV) exercises have recently been introduced as a nonpharmacological therapeutic strategy for sarcopenic older people. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of WBV exercise on hemodynamic parameters in sarcopenic older people. Forty older people, divided into groups of nonsarcopenic (NSG = 20) and sarcopenic (SG = 20), participated in the study and were cross randomized into two interventions of eight sets of 40 s each, these being squatting with WBV and squatting without WBV. Heart rate (HR), peak heart rate (peak HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), double product (DP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and subjective perception of effort (SPE), were assessed at baseline, during, and after a single WBV session. The HR, peak HR, and DP variables were similar at baseline between groups. WBV exercise increased all the hemodynamic parameters both during and immediately after the intervention, in both groups (SG and NSG). The MAP values were similar at baseline between groups; however, in the NSG there was a significant increase during and immediately after the squatting with WBV intervention (p < 0.05). The HR behavior, in both groups, showed that there was an increase in HR after the first set of exercises with vibration and this increase was maintained until the final set. The absence of adverse effects of WBV exercise on the cardiovascular system and fatigue suggests this exercise modality is adequate and safe for sarcopenic older people.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the additive effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) training to the traditional physical therapy program (TPTP) on balance control, postural stability, and mobility after thermal burn injuries. DESIGN A single-blinded, randomized controlled study. SETTING Outpatient physical therapy setting. PARTICIPANTS Forty participants, 20-45 years old, with deep second-degree thermal burn involving the lower limbs and trunk, with 35%-40% total body service area, were randomly allocated either into the study group or the control group. INTERVENTION The study group received WBV plus TPTP while the control group received the TPTP only. Interventions were applied three sessions a week for eight weeks. OUTCOME MEASURES Anteroposterior stability index (APSI), mediolateral stability index (MLSI), overall stability index (OSI), timed-up and go (TUG), and Berg balance scale (BBS) were measured at baseline and after eight weeks of interventions. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in APSI, MLSI, OSI, BBS, and TUG in favor of the WBV group after eight weeks of intervention (P < 0.001). After eight weeks of intervention, the mean (SD) for APSI, MLSI, OSI, BBS, and TUG scores were 1.87 ± 0.51, 41.36 ± 0.18, 1.95 ± 0.56, 47.2 ± 6.12, and 8.15 ± 1.05 seconds in the WBV group, and 2.41 ± 0.71, 2.21 ± 0.54, 2.68 ± 0.73, 40.65 ± 4.7, and 10.95 ± 2.44 seconds in the control group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The whole-body vibration training combined with the TPTP was more beneficial in improving APS, MLS, OSI, TUG, and BBS than TPTP alone. It might be considered a useful adjunctive therapy in treating patients with healed wounds with a deep second-degree burn of the trunk and lower limbs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) enormously affects the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. It causes weakness in the affected lower-extremity muscles in addition to muscle imbalance and inadequate power production, especially in the ankle plantar-flexor and knee extensor muscles. It also causes anomalous delayed myoelectrical action of the medial hamstring. A whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise can diminish muscle spasticity and improve walking speed, muscle strength, and gross motor function without causing unfavorable impacts in adults suffering from CP. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of WBV training associated with conventional physical therapy on the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic CP.
Results
The post-intervention values of the quadriceps and hamstring muscle force, endurance, and power were significantly higher than the pre-intervention values for both groups (p = 0.001). The post-intervention values of the study group were significantly higher than the control group (quadriceps force, p = 0.015; hamstring force, p = 0.030; endurance, p = 0.025; power, p = 0.014).
Conclusion
The 8 weeks of WBV training that was added to traditional physical therapy was more successful in improving the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic CP when compared to traditional physical therapy alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efforts to achieve better functional results in vestibular rehabilitation have been continued by using different visual and somatosensory stimuli for a long time. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a mechanical vertical stimulation that provides high frequency vibration stimulus to the proprioceptive receptors. Biofeedback provides continuous information to the subject regarding postural changes. These techniques may aid to improve vestibular rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of adding WBV or biofeedback postural training (BPT) to standard rehabilitation exercises in patients with chronic unilateral vestibular weakness. METHODS Ninety patients were randomized into three groups. Group 1 had WBV and Group 2 BPT in addition to the standard rehabilitation exercises. Group 3 only carried out the home-based exercises and served as the control. Outcome measures such as static posturography, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up-and-Go test, Visual Analog Scale, and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) were used for comparison. RESULTS Statistically significant gains were achieved in all groups with all parameters at the end of treatment when compared to baseline (p < 0.05). The patients in Group 1 (WBV), however, were significantly better than those in Groups 2 and 3 at the static posturographic stability score, Berg Balance Scale, and DHI (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Adding WBV to a rehabilitation program may be an effective strategy to improve postural stability and achieve better physical, functional and emotional outcomes.

Abstract
Vibration interventions are used in neurorehabilitation to improve postural control in recent years. Little is known about the immediate effects of vibration interventions on postural control in patients with ataxia. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the immediate effects of local vibration (LV) and whole-body vibration (WBV) on postural control in patients with ataxia. This study was designed as cross-over, single blind randomized clinical trial. Twenty-one patients with ataxia met the inclusion criteria. LV (frequency, 80 Hz; amplitude, 1 mm) and WBV (30 Hz, 2 mm) were applied to all patients. There was a 1-week washout time between interventions. Each patient was assessed 3 times: pre-intervention and 1 and 60 min post-intervention. The assessor was blinded to the interventions. Outcome measures were limits of stability (LoS), and postural sways (Bertec Balance Check Screener), gait parameters (GAITRite), and static balance (one-leg stance test). Twenty patients completed both interventions. The mean patient age was 39.43 ± 9.67 years. LV increased the left-LoS post-vibration (1 and 60 min post) more than WBV did (p ˂ 0.05). LV increased the LoS stability score and the base of support at 1 min post-vibration, while WBV decreased them (p ˂ 0.05). This study demonstrated different immediate effects of a single session of LV versus WBV and showed that LV has better effects on postural control in patients with ataxia.

Abstract
Objective. We aimed to investigate the acute residual hormonal,
biochemical, and neuromuscular responses to a single session of individualized
whole-body vibration (WBV) while maintaining a half-squat position.
Methods. Twenty male sport science students voluntarily
participated in the present study and were randomly assigned to an
individualized WBV group (with the acceleration load determined for each
participant) or an isometric group (ISOM). A double-blind, controlled parallel
study design with repeated measures was employed. Results.
Testosterone and growth hormone increased significantly over time in the WBV
group (P < .05 and P < .01,
respectively; effect size [ES] ranged from 1.00 to 1.23), whereas cortisol
increased over time in both groups (P < .01; ES ranged from
1.04 and 1.36). Interleukin-6 and creatine kinase increased significantly over
time only in the WBV group (P < .05; ES = 1.07). The maximal
voluntary contraction decreased significantly over time in the ISOM group
(P = .019; ES = 0.42), whereas in the WBV group, the
decrease did not reach a significant level (P = .05). The ratio
of electromyographic activity and power decreased significantly over time in the
WBV group (P < .01; ES ranged from 0.57 to 0.72).
Conclusion. Individualized WBV increased serum hormonal
concentrations, muscle damage, and inflammation to levels similar to those
induced by resistance training and hypertrophy exercises.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) has been used in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (pwMS), showing improvements in different neuromuscular and mobility variables. However, the acute effects of this training are still unknown. The acute effects of WBVT on neuromuscular performance, mobility and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were evaluated in 10 pwMS. METHODS Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), central activation ratio (CAR), electromyography (EMG) of the vastus lateralis during isometric knee extension, Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), walking speed and RPE were assessed before and immediately after a session of WBVT (twelve 60-s bout of vibration; frequency 35 Hz; amplitude 4 mm; 1-min rest intervals) in both hypoxic and normoxic conditions. RESULTS EMG 0-100, 0-200 ms and peak EMG resulted in significant differences (p < 0.05) between normoxic and hypoxic sessions. The EMG activity tended to decrease in all phases after the hypoxic session, indicating possible influence of hypoxia on neuromuscular performance. No changes were found in CAR, MVIC, TUG and walking speed in both conditions. CONCLUSION Based on our results, as well as those obtained by other studies that have used WBVT with other populations, more studies with a higher sample and lower dose of vibration exposure should be conducted in pwMS.
