3-week whole body vibration does not improve gait function in mildly affected multiple sclerosis patients—a randomized controlled trial

Effects of long-term whole-body vibration training on mobility in patients with multiple sclerosis: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…If adequate results were not reported, we requested relevant data from the corresponding author of the given study. Meta-analyses were conducted for seven RCTs, which reported results at least from one of the above mentioned components of mobility [30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. The study by Claerbout et al [34] was divided into two separate sub-studies: WBV-full group versus control group and WBV-light group versus control group.…”

“…Four studies included both relapsing-remitting and progressive forms of MS [30,31,35,36], one only relapsing-remitting form [32] and two studies did not report the form of MS [33,34]. Five studies used the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) [39] to describe the gravity of the MS disease [30][31][32]34,35]. The mean EDSS score was ≤ 5.3, indicating that most patients in the selected studies had a low disability status, the study by Claerbout et al with the highest mean EDSS of 5.2 excluded [34].…”

The application of whole-body vibration in physiotherapy – A narrative review

“…The majority of the training programs was carried out 3 times a week (2,7,42). Exercises on a Physiology International (Acta Physiologica Hungarica) 103, 2016 vibration platform are considered safe and feasible for older individuals (18,49,71); numerous researchers also emphasize the beneficial effect of WBV on physical and functional performance thereof (7,33,71).…”

Effect of Comorbidities on Outcomes of Neurorehabilitation Interventions in Multiple Sclerosis

“…[52][53][54][55][56][57] The number of intervention sessions ranged from 9 54 to 24 50,51,53 over 3 54,57 to 20 52 weeks.…”
