“…Two studies extended the follow-up and a surprisingly long persistence of the FVT after-effects was evidenced by Brunetti’s group, up to 240 [ 36 ] and 360 days [ 37 ]. These data seem to be confirmed by other authors too, showing the absence of any significant decay of the after-effect throughout the follow-up period, ranging in these reports between 15 days and 16 weeks [ 32 , 33 , 35 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. These long-lasting after-effects might be reasonably sustained by some other factors related to an improved motor efficiency, due to FVT, eliciting execution of a spontaneous higher workload daily.…”

“…Two studies were added, resulting from the chain searching. Consequently, a total of 12 eligible studies were included in the present review [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. The study selection flow chart is shown in Figure 1 .…”

“…These values in treated subjects were significantly different from those of the untreated participants, even if both followed the same team-training protocol; the control group, at the end of the follow-up, respectively improved by ≈+9% (SJ) and by ≈+7.5% (CMJ) [ 36 ]. FVT effects were also tested in a high intensity effort as in the Wingate test (WnT), repeated more times with short rest periods, able to simulate a Sprint Interval Training [ 41 ]. These authors reported a 10% increase in the power peak and of 8% in total exercise work performed.…”

“…Some authors tested at different intervals the FVT results, allowing a gross time course of the after-effects [ 30 , 32 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 41 ]. The FVT after-effects, with respect to their temporal development, commonly show an early significant manifestation, as stated by the authors, after a few minutes [ 35 , 38 , 41 ], or after 24 h [ 32 , 36 , 37 ], even if two studies, with FVT different protocols with respect to the others, evidenced by the earliest statistically significant results after only two or four weeks of FVT [ 33 , 39 ]. Two studies extended the follow-up and a surprisingly long persistence of the FVT after-effects was evidenced by Brunetti’s group, up to 240 [ 36 ] and 360 days [ 37 ].…”

Mechanical vibration, applied to single or few muscles, can be a selective stimulus for muscle spindles, able to modify neuromuscular management, inducing short and long-term effects, are now mainly employed in clinic studies. Several studies reported as treatments with focal vibratory (FVT) can influence neuromuscular parameters also in healthy people. However, the application modalities and the consequent effects are remarkably fragmented. This paper aims to review these studies and to characterize the FVT effectiveness on long-term conditional capacities in relation to FVT characteristics. A systematic search of studies published from 1985 to 2020 in English on healthcare databases was performed. Articles had to meet the following criteria: (1) treatment based on a locally applied vibration on muscle belly or tendon; (2) healthy adults involved; (3) outcomes time analysis enduring for more than 24 h. Twelve studies were found, all of them presented an excellent quality score of ≥75%. All selected papers reported positive changes, comparable with traditional long-lasting training effects. Muscle force and power were the most investigated parameters. The after-effects persisted for up to several months. Among the different FV administration modalities, the most effective seems to show a stimulus frequency of ≈100 Hz, repeated more times within three-five days on a voluntary contracted muscle.

“… 50 , 51 Several groups have shown that mFV consistently alters the interaction between the vibrated muscle and its antagonists and increases motor coordination, thus likely improving joint performance. 52 , 53 Furthermore, the onset of the effects of mFV occurs as soon as 60 minutes after the end of the intervention. 54 – 56 Thus, mFV should be a valid strategy in rehabilitation programs for patients with KOA.…”

Objective To examine the pain-reducing effects of intra-articular oxygen–ozone (O2O3) injections and mechanical focal vibration (mFV) versus O2O3 injections alone in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods Patients with chronic pain (>6 weeks) due to knee osteoarthritis (II–III on the Kellgren–Lawrence scale) were consecutively enrolled and divided into two groups: O2O3 (n = 25) and O2O3-mFV (n = 24). The visual analog scale (VAS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and Medical Research Council (MRC) Manual Muscle Testing scale were administered at baseline (before treatment), after 3 weeks of treatment, and 1 month after the end of treatment. Patients received three once-weekly intra-articular injections of O2O3 into the knee (20 mL O3, 20 μg/mL). The O2O3-mFV group also underwent nine sessions of mFV (three sessions per week). Results The VAS score, KOOS, and MRC score were significantly better in the O2O3-mFV than O2O3 group. The within-group analysis showed that all scores improved over time compared with baseline and were maintained even 1 month after treatment. No adverse events occurred. Conclusion An integrated rehabilitation protocol involving O2O3 injections and mFV for 3 weeks reduces pain, increases autonomy in daily life activities, and strengthens the quadriceps femoris.

Plastic changes induced by muscle focal vibration: A possible mechanism for long-term motor improvements

Repetitive focal vibrations can induce positive and persistent after-effects. There is still no satisfactory interpretation of the underlying mechanisms. A rationale, which can provide consistency among different results, is highly desirable to guide both the use of the application and future research. To date, interpretive models are formulated to justify the results, depending on the specific protocol adopted. Indeed, protocol parameters, such as stimulus intensity and frequency, intervention time and administration period, are variable among different studies. However, in this article, we have identified features of the protocols that may allow us to suggest a possible common mechanism underlying the effectiveness of focal vibration under different physiologic and pathologic conditions. Since repetitive focal muscle vibration induces powerful and prolonged activation of muscle proprioceptors, we hypothesize that this intense activation generates adaptive synaptic changes along sensory and motor circuits. This may lead to long-term synaptic potentiation in the central network, inducing an enhancement of the learning capability. The plastic event could increase proprioceptive discriminative ability and accuracy of the spatial reference frame and, consequently, improve motor planning and execution for different motor functions and in the presence of different motor dysfunctions. The proposed mechanism may explain the surprising and sometimes particularly rapid improvements in motor execution in healthy and diseased individuals, regardless of specific physical training. This hypothetic mechanism may require experimental evidence and could lead to extend and adapt the application of the “learning without training” paradigms to other functional and recovery needs.
