“…Whole body vibration (WBV) is a novel rehabilitative exercise that uses low amplitude, low frequency vibration administered through a platform or Power Plate. WBV shows potential as an effective therapeutic approach and has been studied in a variety of clinical settings that include rehabilitation of patients with chronic stroke [8], spinal cord injury [9], lumbar disk disease and lower back pain syndromes [10], Parkinson's disease [11], elderly with sarcopenia [12,13], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [14 ], multiple sclerosis [15], obesity, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia [16] and children with cerebral palsy [17]. A growing body of evidence in laboratory animals and patients with chronic stroke have shown that WBV reduces or reverses pathological remodeling of bone and such a treatment could also help reduce frailty related physiological deterioration [18][19][20].…”

A risk of ischemic stroke increases exponentially after menopause. Even a mild-ischemic stroke can result in increased frailty. Frailty is a state of increased vulnerability to adverse outcomes, which subsequently increases risk of cerebrovascular events and severe cognitive decline, particularly after menopause.Several interventions to reduce frailty and subsequent risk of stroke and cognitive decline have been proposed in laboratory animals and patients. One of them is whole body vibration (WBV). WBV improves brain hemodynamics and lessens frailty-related functional and cognitive deterioration. The goal of current study is to test the efficacy of WBV in reducing post-ischemic stroke frailty and brain damage in reproductively senescent female rats. Reproductively senescent Sprague-Dawley female rats were exposed to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and randomly assigned to either WBV or control groups. Animals placed in the WBV group underwent 30 days of WBV (40 Hz) treatment performed twice daily for 15 min each session for 5 days each week. The motor functions of animals belonging to both groups were tested intermittently and at the end of treatment period. Brains were then harvested for inflammatory markers and histopathological analysis. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in inflammatory markers, infarct volume, and significant increases in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and improvement in functional activity after tMCAO in middle-aged female rats that were treated with WBV as compared to the control group. Our results may help faster translation of the WBV intervention for improved outcome after stroke, particularly among frail women.

Background: Patients with stable COPD show improvements in exercise capacity and muscular function after the application of whole body vibration. We aimed to evaluate whether this modality added to conventional physiotherapy in exacerbated hospitalised COPD patients would be safe and would improve exercise capacity and quality of life. Methods: 49 hospitalised exacerbated COPD patients were randomized (1:1) to undergo physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy with the addition of whole body vibration. The primary endpoint was the between-group difference of the 6-minute walking test (day of discharge -day of admission). Secondary assessments included chair rising test, quality of life, and serum marker analysis.
