Research paper thumbnail of Short-term effects of the whole-body vibration on the balance and muscle strength of type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy: a quasi-randomized-controlled trial study

PN impairs postural stability and muscle strength. Therapeutic exercise may improve functional abilities of diabetic patients but they are unwilling to participate in exercise programs. Whole Body vibration (WBV) is a new somatosensory stimulation which is easy to use and time-efficient. The effects of WBV on balance and strength of diabetic patients had not been studied; therefore the aim of this study was to assess the effects of WBV in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods It was a quasi-RCT study performed between March 2011 and February 2013. Twenty patients were randomly assigned into either a whole body vibration group, or a control group. WBV group received vibration (frequency: 30 Hz, amplitude: 2 mm) twice a week for 6 weeks. Muscle strength, Timed Up & Go Test (TUGT) and Unilateral Stance Test and balance parameters were measured at baseline and after the intervention. ...

A 52-year old woman who complained from night sleep disturbance due to feet pain and tingling and also fear of falling during daily walking. She tried medications without any significant effect. After six weeks training with Whole-Body Vibration, the pain level, muscle strength, balance and flexibility improved. Also, neuropathy score decreased significantly. These finding demonstrate that Whole-Body Vibration is an effective complimentary treatment in type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy.

However, the clinical and central effects of VRT have not been investigated in patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP). To comprehensively assess the effects of VRT on clinical indices and brain function, we used a randomized clinical trial based on clinical and brain mapping assessment. Methods Twenty-six women with PFP for more than 6 months were randomly allocated to 2 groups: intervention and control. The intervention consisted of lifestyle education + 8 weeks VRT, in 24 sessions each lasting 40 min of training, whereas the control group just received lifestyle education. The balance was the primary outcome and was measured by the modified star excursion balance test. Secondary outcomes included pain, function, quality of life, and brain function which were assessed by visual analogue scale, step down test and Kujala questionnaire, SF-36, and EEG, respectively. Pre-in...

Muscle strength and the balance deficits are seen in these patients. Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) is a time-efficient method which may be beneficial for them. The immediate effects of WBV on muscle strength and balance have not been studied yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of one session of WBV on muscle strength and the balance of diabetic patients. Ten diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy took part in this study. Outcome measurements were total strength, strength of tibialis anterior and quadriceps femoris muscles and the balance parameters including Unilateral Stance Test and Timed Up and Go Test. Tibialis anterior muscle strength and Timed Up and GO Test parameters showed significant differences post-exercise in comparison to baseline. A session of WBV had positive effects on muscle strength and the balance in patients with type-2 diabetes associated with neuropathy.

To determine the relationship of scores on an isokinetic test to scores on a variety of lower extremity functional tests ten healthy subjects and eleven ACLR patients at least six months after surgery performed knee isokinetic test at 60 and 180 deg/sec and three functional tests: leg vertical jump, single hop, and triple cross-over hop for distance. Correlation coefficients of isokinetic peak torque to body weight and functional testing were not significant at the P < 0.05 level in patients or control subjects, whi1e ratio of involved to uninvolved knee quadriceps isokinetics peak torque and Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) of functional test were significant at the P < 0.05 level (r = 0.54 to 0.97). These results indicate a significant relationship between the LSI of various functional tests and side-to-side ratio of isokinetic testing just in ACLR patients.
