“…The results of this study showed that there were no significant positive effects on postural control as detected by posturography, for sensorimotor physiotherapeutic training, Galileo ® training, or Posturomed ® training. This is contrary to the majority of studies that demonstrated significant postural improvements following sensorimotor physiotherapeutic training and sensorimotor vibration training [5,24,26,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. However, it is difficult to relate the results of these studies to the current study.…”

The aim of this study was to compare three sensorimotor training forms in patients with chronic low back pain to determine their effects on the reduction of pain-related impairment and changes in posturography. Over two weeks, during the multimodal pain therapy (MMPT) period, six sessions of sensorimotor physiotherapy or training in the Galileo® or Posturomed® (n = 25 per group) were performed. A significant reduction in pain-related impairment after the intervention phase was shown across all groups (time effect: p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.415). There was no change in postural stability (time effect: p = 0.666; ηp2 = 0.003), but there was a significant improvement in the peripheral vestibular system (time effect: p = 0.014; ηp2 = 0.081). An interaction effect was calculated for the forefoot-hindfoot ratio (p = 0.014; ηp2 = 0.111). Only the Posturomed® group showed an improvement in anterior-posterior weight distribution (heel load: 47% vs. 49%). These findings suggest that these forms of sensorimotor training in the context of MMPT are suitable for reducing pain-related impairment. Posturography demonstrated stimulation of a subsystem, but no improvement in postural stability.

“…At the same time, vibrational stimuli also have inhibitory effects on the neuromuscular system [22]. A significant improvement in proprioceptive properties in the lumbar region [23] as well as a reduction in pain intensity and an increase in postural stability in patients with chronic back pain [24][25][26] have been demonstrated.…”

“…WBVT has shown effects on body posture, flexibility, proprioception (TTDPM in patients with osteoarthritis), coordination and muscle power. [59][60][61] It has been promoted as an effective method to induce a reflex muscle contraction in subjects with difficulties to evoke voluntary contractions. 62 The mechanism behind the improvements may be that the vibration stimuli excite muscle spindles, and activate the tonic vibration reflex, which acts on alpha-motor neurons.…”

Effects of neuromuscular training on knee proprioception in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury: a systematic review and GRADE evidence synthesis

et al. 2021

ObjectiveTo systematically review and summarise the evidence for the effects of neuromuscular training compared with any other therapy (conventional training/sham) on knee proprioception following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.DesignSystematic Review.Data sourcesPubMed, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, AMED, Scopus and Physical Education Index were searched from inception to February 2020.Eligibility criteriaRandomised controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials investigating the effects of neuromuscular training on knee-specific proprioception tests following a unilateral ACL injury were included.Data extraction and synthesisTwo reviewers independently screened and extracted data and assessed risk of bias of the eligible studies using the Cochrane risk of bias 2 tool. Overall certainty in evidence was determined using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool.ResultsOf 2706 articles retrieved, only 9 RCTs, comprising 327 individuals with an ACL reconstruction (ACLR), met the inclusion criteria. Neuromuscular training interventions varied across studies: whole body vibration therapy, Nintendo-Wii-Fit training, balance training, sport-specific exercises, backward walking, etc. Outcome measures included joint position sense (JPS; n=7), thresholds to detect passive motion (TTDPM; n=3) or quadriceps force control (QFC; n=1). Overall, between-group mean differences indicated inconsistent findings with an increase or decrease of errors associated with JPS by ≤2°, TTDPM by ≤1.5° and QFC by ≤6 Nm in the ACLR knee following neuromuscular training. Owing to serious concerns with three or more GRADE domains (risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness or imprecision associated with the findings) for each outcome of interest across studies, the certainty of evidence was very low.ConclusionsThe heterogeneity of interventions, methodological limitations, inconsistency of effects (on JPS/TTDPM/QFC) preclude recommendation of one optimal neuromuscular training intervention for improving proprioception following ACL injury in clinical practice. There is a need for methodologically robust RCTs with homogenous populations with ACL injury (managed conservatively or with reconstruction), novel/well-designed neuromuscular training and valid proprioception assessments, which also seem to be lacking.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018107349.

“…Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a training and rehabilitation system that mainly uses the technology of vibrating platforms and that has been demonstrating several positive therapeutic and physiological effects, such as improvement of muscle strength, blood circulation, blood perfusion, muscle performance, bone density, neuromuscular response, increased electromyographic signal (EMG), increased neuromuscular system response, improved sports performance, muscle tone, muscle flexibility, proprioception, muscle tone, among others (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). This system has been widely used and studied due to its easy application, being a non-invasive method, with immediate acute effects, with short sessions, being widely disseminated in sports and rehabilitation centers, apart from having literary support on its effects.…”

Background. Whole-body vibration (WBV) has proven to be an efficient tool in improving the physical qualities of the neuromuscular system, such as increasing muscle strength, performance, joint stability, electromyographic signal, proprioception, among others. Its use in the upper limbs and joint instabilities has shown good immediate results in a single session. The aim of this study was to analyze the acute effects of the use of mechanical vibration on the muscle strength of subjects with shoulder instability. Methods. 10 athletes in the process of post-surgical rehabilitation of shoulder instability were volunteers in this study. Muscle strength was tested in the internal (IR) and external (ER) rotation movements in the neutral position using isokinetic dynamometry at two angular velocities -60 and 180º/s in three moments: before, immediately after, and 10 minutes after the application of WBV. The WBV was applied only once, using a frequency of 30 Hz, with the patient assuming the arm flexion position on the platform during 5 series of 30 seconds of stimulation. Results. The limb with shoulder instability benefited in both movements -ER and IR and in both angular velocities. The limb without instability, on the other hand, had increased strength only in the RI movements at 60º/s and RE at 180º/s. Conclusions. It is concluded that a single session of WBV applied directly to the upper limbs is capable of acutely improving muscle strength in both limbs in subjects with shoulder instability, with the affected limb being the most benefited.
