“…In community-dwelling healthy older adults (62–78 years), the increases in muscle strength after 8–48 weeks of WBVT were similar to those observed after RT (4.9–38.8%), but significantly greater when compared to sham and nonexercise controls 35, 36, 37, 45, 46, 55. Similarly, WBVT has increased muscle strength in patients with chronic stroke and diabetic neuropathy (22%) 50, 51, 52.…”

Age-related decreases in muscle mass and strength are associated with decreased mobility, quality of life, and increased cardiovascular risk. Coupled with the prevalence of obesity, the risk of death becomes substantially greater. Resistance training (RT) has a well-documented beneficial impact on muscle mass and strength in young and older adults, although the high-intensity needed to elicit these adaptations may have a detrimental or negligible impact on vascular function, specifically on arterial stiffness. Increased arterial stiffness is associated with systolic hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and myocardial ischemia. Therefore, improvements of muscle strength and arterial function are important in older adults. Recently, whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise, a novel modality of strength training, has shown to exhibit similar results on muscle strength as RT in a wide-variety of populations, with the greatest impact in elderly individuals with limited muscle function. Additionally, WBV training has been shown to have beneficial effects on vascular function by reducing arterial stiffness. This article reviews relevant publications reporting the effects of WBV on muscle strength and/or arterial stiffness. Findings from current studies suggest the use of WBV training as an alternative modality to traditional RT to countermeasure the age-related detriments in muscle strength and arterial stiffness in older adults.

“…After 10 weeks of WBVT, Milanese et al 43 observed an increase in leg extension (14.2%), leg curl (12.7%) and leg press (15.8%) in middle-aged women. We and other groups have found that short-term (8–12 weeks) WBVT increased leg muscle strength in overweight/obese postmenopausal women 36, 46, 49, 54, 55…”

Background:Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) confers a continuous vibration stimuli to the body. Although some reports have discussed the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on bone mineral density and muscle strength, study of WBV effects on lean mass have not been determined. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate published, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of WBVT on lean mass.Methods:We identified only RCTs by searching databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to March 2017. Data extraction, quality assessment, and meta-analysis were performed.Results:Ten RCTs with 5 RCTs concentrating on older people, 3 on young adults, and 2 on children and adolescents were included. We additionally explored the effect of WBVT on postmenopausal women (6 trials from the 10 trials). Significant improvements in lean mass with WBVT were merely found in young adults (P = .02) but not in other populations compared to control group.Conclusion:The effect of WBVT found in the present meta-analysis may be used in counteracting the loss of muscle mass in younger adults. Moreover, optimal WBVT protocols for greater muscle hypertrophy are expected to be investigated.

“…Among them, the vibration therapy has emerged over the last decades as a promising non-invasive treatment for osteoporosis. In fact -through a mechanism not yet univocally clarified -high-frequency vibratory stimulation is able to significantly stimulate osteogenesis in animal models (11)(12)(13)(14), and studies in human indicate that it improves bone mineral density (BMD), muscle strength and proprioception, particularly in people with osteoporosis or those with motor impairment from neuromuscular diseases of various etiologies (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of combined treatment with focused mechano-acoustic vibration and pharmacological therapy on BMD and muscle strength in post-menopausal women.…”

SummaryIntroduction. Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of the skeleton characterized by a reduction in bone mass and alterations in microarchitecture accompanied by increase in fracture risk, with a relevant decline in quality of life and important social, economic, and health implications, representing one of the most common causes of disability and a major financial item of health cost in many Countries. The best therapy for osteoporosis is prevention, consisting in measures to avoid or slow the onset of the disease. Treatment includes measures aimed at osteoporotic individuals, with or without previous fractures and a high risk of a first or additional fracture. Method. We enrolled thirty post-menopausal osteoporotic women, allocated in the first group underwent a 6-month personalized drug therapy and focused mechanoacoustic vibration (2 sessions per week, each lasting 15 minutes); women allocated in the second group underwent only 6-month personalized drug therapy. Patients were evaluated performing dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and isokinetic machine evaluation, and administration of Tinetti scale and ECOS-16 questionnaire. Result. Show improvement of bone mineral density (BMD) and T-score at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, handgrip strength and isokinetic strength of the knee estensors, balance and gait, and quality of life. Conclusion. Hence, the combined treatment with focused mechano-acoustic vibration and pharmacological therapy has a beneficial effect on BMD and T-score as well as on the muscle strength and quality of life of osteoporotic subjects.KEY WORDS: osteoporosis; post-menopausal women; focused vibration; bone mineral density; T-score; muscle strength.
