“…All 5 studies focused on pain intensity, 4 [ 13 , 14 , 16 , 17 ] of them reported VAS score and the 1 [ 15 ] other reported NPRS score. After converting NPRS value to VAS, data from 5 articles were pooled together.…”

“…A total of 2 studies [ 13 , 16 ] investigated life quality, both of them reported PCS and MCS of SF-36. In term of ΔPCS, WBV training in combination with exercise did not provide a significant improvement in physical health than having done exercise alone (WMD, 0.29; 95% CI, -1.59 to 2.18; I 2 = 0%; P = .76) (Fig.…”

“…Based on the convenience and potential benefits on neuromuscular performance of WBV training, some authors advocated this exercise for patients with PFP. [13][14][15][16][17] However, the debate over its efficacy remains. To solve this dispute, this present study analyzed 5 RCTs involving 174 patients to compare the clinical outcomes of WBV training in combination with exercise and exercise alone.…”

Background: The efficacy of the whole-body vibration (WBV) training for patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP) remains controversial. For this reason, we applied a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy of WBV training in patients with PFP.Methods: Relevant studies found within PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science were examined from January 1, 1990 to December 30, 2021. Two evaluators independently screened the literatures, extracted relevant data and assessed the methodological quality of respective studies. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software.Results: A total of 5 RCTs with 174 patients were included. When comparing with exercise alone, WBV training in combination with exercise provided better reduction of pain assessed by visual analogue scale score (P = .04). There were no differences regarding changes of Kujala patellofemoral score, the physical component summary score for physical health, and the mental component summary score for mental health (P = .08, 0.76, 0.65 respectively) between patients with WBV training and those without WBV training.Conclusions: Compared to the sole performance of exercise, WBV training in combination with exercise showed better pain reduction, but no superior improvement in function and on quality of life.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) on the sensory and motor nerve components with sciatic nerve injury model rats. Surgery was performed on 21 female Wister rats (6–8 weeks) under intraperitoneal anesthesia. The nerve-crush injuries for the left sciatic nerve were inflicted using a Sugita aneurysm clip. The sciatic nerve model rats were randomly divided into two groups (n= 9; control group, n= 12; WBV group). The rats in the WBV group walked in the cage with a vibratory stimulus (frequency 50 Hz, 20 min/day, 5 times/wk), while those in the control group walked in the cage without any vibratory stimulus. We used heat stimulation-induced sensory threshold and lumbar magnetic stimulation-induced motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) to measure the sensory and motor nerve components, respectively. Further, morphological measurements, bilateral hind-limb dimension, bilateral gastrocnemius dimension, and weight were evaluated. Consequently, there were no significant differences in the sensory threshold at the injury side between the control and WBV groups. However, at 4 and 6 weeks postoperatively, MEPs latencies in the WBV group were significantly shorter than those in the control group. Furthermore, both sides of the hind-limb dimension at 6 weeks postoperatively, the left side of the gastrocnemius dimension, and both sides of the gastrocnemius weight significantly increased. In conclusion, WBV especially accelerates the functional recovery of motor nerve components in sciatic nerve-crush injury model rats.

Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder encountered by orthopedic physical therapists and one of the primary reasons for pain in the anterior part of the knee. Balance and Function of the knee may be affected in patients with PFPS due to pain and abnormal lower limb alignment. Aim: to investigate and compare the effects of knee-alignment-oriented balance exercises and conventional balance exercises in patellofemoral pain syndrome patients with dynamic knee valgus. Patients and Methods: Thirty-four patients were diagnosed with PFPS with dynamic knee valgus and were divided into group A: received knee alignment-oriented balance exercises while the other group B received conventional balance exercises. Dynamic knee-valgus throughout a Single-Legged Drop Jump test was measured via two-dimensional video analysis with the Kinovea software. Pain severity was assessed via a visual analog scale. Proprioception was assessed via dynamic postural stability with the Biodex Stability System (Biodex balance system). Results: there was no statistically substantial difference among both groups concerning VAS as well as dynamic postural stability with (p-value>0.05) but for each group, there was a substantial decline in VAS (p=0.0001), as well as for dynamic posture stability, there was no substantial difference except the significant decrease in Anterior/Posterior Index (p=0.014) of the knee alignment-oriented balance group. Conclusion:There was no significant difference between the knee alignment-oriented balance group and the conventional balance group regarding pain intensity and dynamic postural stability. However, both exercises were helpful in improving pain, and only knee alignment-oriented balance improved proprioception.
