“…In the present study, significant changes in the electromyographic signal of the VL muscle on both legs were observed in the acute effect of the last session of the 5-week WBVE intervention (Table 6). This is in agreement with other authors that have shown improvement in muscle activity due to WBVE intervention in different muscles in individuals with various diseases [27], such as acute and chronic stroke [30,56], spinal cord injury [24], Friedreich's ataxia [57], and cerebral palsy [29]. Liao et al detected changes in muscle activity even in individuals with paresis [30].…”

“…Borges et al found that WBVE increased the sEMG amplitude of the VL muscle during an isometric semi-squat exercise in active woman [34]. A systematic review has analyzed the effects of WBVE in lower limbs' neuromuscular activity, suggesting that there was a greater recruitment of motor units after WBVE [27].…”

“…Authors evaluated the effects of WBVE on MetS individuals, and important responses were observed, such as improvement of quality of life and flexibility [25,26]. Moreover, WBVE is safe and effective to treat muscle complications in populations with different disorders [27][28][29][30][31] as well as healthy individuals [32,33].…”

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is related to overweight and obesity, and contributes to clinical limitations. Exercise is used for the management of MetS individuals, who are often not motivated to perform this practice. Whole body vibration exercise (WBVE) produces several biological effects, besides being safe, effective, and feasible for MetS individuals. This pseudo-randomized and cross-over controlled trial study aimed to analyze the effects of WBVE on MetS individuals’ neuromuscular activation using the surface electromyography (sEMG) pattern (root mean square (RMS)) of the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle and on the range of motion (ROM) of the knees. Participants (n = 39) were allocated to two groups: the treatment group (TG), which was exposed to WBVE, and the control group (CG). WBVE interventions were performed twice a week, for a period of 5 weeks. ROM and sEMG were analyzed at baseline, after the first session, and before and after the last session. sEMG (%RMS) significantly increased in the acute effect of the last session of WBVE (108.00 ± 5.07, p < 0.008, right leg; 106.20 ± 3.53, p < 0.02, left leg) compared to the CG. ROM did not significantly change in TG or CG. In conclusion, 5 weeks of WBVE exerted neuromuscular effects capable of increasing VL muscle RMS in individuals with MetS, this effect being potentially useful in the physical rehabilitation of these individuals.

Background and Purpose Recently new technologies and new techniques, such as Whole Body Vibration (WBV), have been introduced by the health and fitness industry to pursue therapeutic or physical performance goals. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effectiveness of single or multiple WBV sessions alone or in association with traditional rehabilitation, compared to traditional rehabilitation therapy or with sham therapy in poststroke patients. Methods Randomized Control Trials and controlled clinical trials written in English between January 1st, 2003, and December 31st, 2017, were selected from PubMed, Cochrane-Central-Register-of-Controlled-Trials, and Physiotherapy-Evidence-Database (PEDro). The single WBV session and multiple sessions' effects were assessed. Study characteristics, study population, intervention protocols, effects of WBV sessions, and adverse events were investigated with a descriptive analysis. Results The search reported 365 articles and after screening and removal of duplicates, 11 manuscripts with PEDro score≥6/10 were selected (391 poststroke patients). Study characteristics, study population, intervention protocols (frequencies, amplitude of vibration, and peak acceleration), effects of a single or multiple WBV sessions, and adverse events were analyzed. They have been investigated with particular attention to bone turnover, structure and muscle functions, spasticity, postural control and risk of falls, functional mobility, somatosensory threshold, and activity and participation. Comparing WBV group with control group no significant benefits emerged. Discussion This systematic review included studies involving participants with non homogeneous characteristics, just considering the incorporation of studies on individuals with chronic and postacute stroke. Despite these limits, WBV treatment has no significant risks for patients and shows interesting effects of WBV treatment in Structure and muscle functions, Spasticity and Postural control. Conclusions Even though treatment with WBV appears safe and feasible, there is insufficient evidence to support its clinical use in poststroke rehabilitation at this point. More studies assessing other functional tests and with more specific treatment protocols are needed.

Background Cardiorespiratory system involvement and early fatigue observed in stroke patients complicate the rehabilitation process and affect their ability to perform daily activities and functional independence. Aim It was aimed to determine the relationship between respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength with trunk control, functional capacity, and functional independence in hemiplegic patients after stroke. Materials and Methods Twenty‐five volunteers who were diagnosed with post‐stroke hemiplegia were included in the study. Sociodemographic and physical characteristics were recorded. Pulmonary function test (PFT), respiratory muscle strength, Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), Timed‐Up and Go Test (TUG), and Barthel Index (BI) were applied. Results There was a moderate negative correlation between TUG scores and PFT results (r = 0.413–0.502; p = 0.011–0.04), except for PEF (%) and FEV1/FVC. Also, there were statistically significant correlation between TIS scores and FEV1(%) (r = 0.505; p = 0.012), FVC(%) (r = 0.449; p = 0.024). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant relationship between BI results and any parameter of the PFT (p > 0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation between respiratory muscle strength and TUG, TIS, BI (p > 0.05). Conclusion It has been shown that respiratory functions are associated with functional capacity and trunk control. However, it was found that there was no relationship between respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity, trunk control, and functional independence. It is thought that considering these parameters in the assessment of patients will contribute to the creation of individual and effective rehabilitation programs. The respiratory system should be systematically assessed in stroke rehabilitation and considered as part of a holistic approach. Clinical Trial Registration NCT05290649 (retrospectively registered) (http://clinicaltrials.gov).
