“…The sample size ranged from 14 to 159 participants, with a mean age of 60.9 ± 20.0 years, varying from 7.9 years to 83.2 years. With regard to the adult population, 16 studies evaluated the effects of WBV in the elderly ( n = 59.8 ± 35.4 subjects) (9, 30–32, 36, 40, 44, 45, 50, 53, 55, 56, 59, 62, 64, 69), four in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ( n = 42.5 ± 16.7 subjects) (57, 61, 65, 71), seven in patients with stroke ( n = 46.1 ± 27.2 subjects) (28, 35, 38, 51, 54, 67, 72), four in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) ( n = 32.2 ± 11.9 subjects) (29, 33, 63, 68), three in postmenopausal women ( n = 40.3 ± 12.5 subjects) (48, 58, 66), two in patients with multiple sclerosis ( n = 29.5 ± 6.3 subjects) (34, 39) and one in patients with the following pathologies: incomplete cervical spinal injury (47), pulmonary arterial hypertension (42), lung transplantation (43), idiopathic Parkinson's disease (41), total knee arthroplasty (49) and cerebral palsy (27) ( n = 30.0 ± 26.4 subjects). With regard to the child population, two studies evaluated the effects of WBV in cerebral palsy (37, 60), one in patients with osteogenesis imperfect (46) and one in patients with spastic diplegia or quadriplegia forms of cerebral palsy (52) ( n = 22.5 ± 5.9 subjects).…”

Background: Whole-body vibration is commonly used in physical medicine and neuro-rehabilitation as a clinical prevention and rehabilitation tool. The goal of this systematic review is to assess the long-term effects of whole-body vibration training on gait in different populations of patients. Methods: We conducted a literature search in PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, Sage and in study references for articles published prior to 7 December 2018. We used the keywords “vibration,” “gait” and “walk” in combination with their Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology was used. Only randomized controlled trials (RCT) published in English peer-reviewed journals were included. All patient categories were selected. The duration of Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) training had to be at least 4 weeks. The outcomes accepted could be clinical or biomechanical analysis. The selection procedure was conducted by two rehabilitation experts and disagreements were resolved by a third expert. Descriptive data regarding subjects, interventions, types of vibration, training parameters and main results on gait variables were collected and summarized in a descriptive table. The quality of selected studies was assessed using the PEDro scale. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate intergroup differences and changes after the WBV intervention compared to the pre-intervention status. The level of evidence was determined based on the results of meta-analysis (effect size), statistical heterogeneity ( I 2 ) and methodological quality (PEDro scale). Results: A total of 859 studies were initially identified through databases with 46 articles meeting all of the inclusion criteria and thus selected for qualitative assessment. Twenty-five studies were included in meta-analysis for quantitative synthesis. In elderly subjects, small but significant improvements in the TUG test (SMD = −0.18; 95% CI: −0.32, −0.04) and the 10MWT (SMD = −0.28; 95% CI: −0.56, −0.01) were found in the WBV groups with a strong level of evidence ( I 2 = 7%, p = 0.38 and I 2 = 22%, p = 0.28, respectively; PEDro scores ≥5/10). However, WBV failed to improve the 6MWT (SMD = 0.37; 95% CI: −0.03, 0.78) and the Tinetti gait scores (SMD = 0.04; 95% CI: −0.23, 0.31) in older adults. In stroke patients, significant improvement in the 6MWT (SMD = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.59) was found after WBV interventions, with a strong level of evidence ( I 2 = 0%, p = 0.58; PEDro score ≥5/10). On the other hand, there was no significant change in the TUG test despite a tendency toward improvement (SMD = −0.29; 95% CI: −0.60, 0.01). Results were inconsistent in COPD patients ( I 2 = 66%, ...

Background Sarcopenia is an aging-induced deterioration of skeletal muscle mass and function. Low-magnitude highfrequency vibration (LMHFV) was shown to improve muscle functions and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) to increase muscle mass and strength. Muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) are progenitor cells important for muscle regeneration. We hypothesized that LMHFV and HMB could retard sarcopenia by reducing fat infiltration through inhibiting adipogenesis in MDSCs. Methods Senescence-accelerated mouse P8 male mice were randomized into control (CTL), HMB, LMHFV (VIB), and combined (COM) groups. Interventions started at age of month 7 and assessed at 1, 2, and 3 months post-intervention by densitometry, histology, and functional tests. In vitro, MDSCs isolated from gastrocnemius of senescence-accelerated mouse P8 mice were characterized, randomized into CTL, VIB, HMB, and COM groups, and assessed by oil red O staining, mRNA, and protein expression.Results At 2 months post-intervention, percentage lean mass of HMB, VIB, and COM groups were significantly higher than CTL group. Twitch, tetanic, and specific tetanic forces of COM group were higher, while specific twitch force of both VIB and COM groups were higher. Grip strength of HMB, VIB, and COM groups were higher. Histologically, both VIB and COM groups presented lower oil red O area than CTL group. Type I muscle fibre in CTL group was higher than HMB, VIB, and COM groups. MDSC were detected in situ by immunofluorescence stain with stem cell antigen-1 signals confirmed with higher β-catenin expression in the COM group. The observations were also confirmed in vitro, MDSCs in the HMB, VIB, and COM groups presented lower adipogenesis vs. the CTL group. β-Catenin mRNA and protein expressions were lower in the CTL group while their relationship was further validated through β-catenin knock-down approach.Conclusions Our results showed that combined LMHFV and HMB interventions enhanced muscle strength and decreased percentage fat mass and intramuscular fat infiltration as compared with either treatment alone. Additive effect of LMHFV and HMB was demonstrated in β-catenin expression than either treatment in MDSCs and altered cell fate from adipogenesis to myogenesis, leading to inhibition of intramuscular lipid accumulation. Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway was found to be the predominant regulatory mechanism through which LMHFV and HMB combined treatment suppressed MDSCs adipogenesis.

“…Taken together, the interconnected nature of physical and cognitive function emphasizes the importance of cognition when examining physical function in the elderly (Aliberti et al, 2019). Specifically, dysfunction in executive functions (such as working memory, inhibition, transitive attention) and psycho-verbal in the elderly are accompanied by many declining changes in health and physical function and is manifested by an increased risk of falls (Goudarzian et al, 2017;Schoene et al, 2015). Falling is the third leading cause of chronic disability in the world (Desjardins-Crépeau et al, 2016).…”

With the increasing number of aged individuals, research pertaining to their cognitive functions and physical-motor has become exponentially imperative. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect combined aquatic and cognitive training on quality of life (QoL), fall self-efficacy and motor performance (static and dynamic balance) in aged with varying cognitive status levels. Thirty participants were assigned to a high cognitive status group (n= 10), low cognitive status group (n= 10), or nonintervention control group (n = 10). Participants completed a 6-week motor-cognitive training regime with increasing intensity. QoL, fall self-efficacy, static balance, and dynamic balance were assessed. Preliminary results suggest proof-of-concept significant (P < 0.05) improvements were found in both the high and low cognitive status groups for static and dynamic balance and fall self-efficacy. However, QoL was only found to be significantly improved in the low cognitive status group. Aqua training along with cognitive training can effectively be used to prevent falls in the elderly and to improve their physical-motor performance. However, when attempting to improve QoL, the cognitive status of the individual should be considered.
