Abstract
Abstract Objective The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of exercising on a vibratory platform on older adults’ lower limb performance, muscle activation and balance. Design A total of 44 volunteers exercised on a vibratory platform. For half of them (random assignment), the platform vibrated at 40 Hz with 4 mm displacements and for the other half, the platform was off. Lower limb isokinetic performance, neuromuscular activity and balance were assessed before and after exercise protocol. Results A significant increase was observed in 3 of the 4 dynamometric variables evaluated along with increased soleus muscle activation, with no difference between the groups. Conclusion Squatting exercises had immediate effects on neuromuscular performance, muscle activation and balance. However, whole body vibration did not magnify the effects of squatting exercises on older adults. Clinical Trials NCT03356418.
期刊介绍：
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
