“…Otherwise, after whole body vibration training improvements in functional mobility were still evident 2 weeks after completing 8 weeks of intervention, suggesting but not checking a residual effect of neural adaptations after training in this population (Mason, 2012).…”

BACKGROUND: Although resistance training adaptations in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients have been described, the detraining response in this population is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of a 12-week detraining period on muscle strength (isometric and endurance) and muscle power of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients that had previously carried out a 12-week resistance training program (RTP). METHODS: Forty-two MS patients were randomly assigned into two groups: an exercise group (EG) that performed a 12-week RTP for the knee extensors muscles; and a control group (CG), that did not perform any specific training. Knee extension maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), muscle power and muscle endurance were evaluated before and after the RTP, as well as 12 weeks after training completion. A strain gauge was used to measure the maximal voluntary isometric contraction and muscle power was assessed with a linear encoder. Muscle endurance was interpreted as the number of repetitions that a patient could perform in a single set of knee extension exercise. RESULTS: The EG increased MVIC and muscle power after the training period, although the training did not affect muscle endurance. After 12 weeks of detraining, MVIC returned to pre-training values but muscle power was still greater than pre-training values in the EG. The CG did not present any change in the variables measured during the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: A 12-week RTP improved MVIC and muscle power in MS patients. Additionally, 12 weeks of detraining blunted strength training adaptations in MS patients, although muscle power training adaptations were still evident after the detraining period.

“…Screening and identifying of 513 titles and abstracts revealed 14 potentially eligible trials. Seven of these 14 trials were excluded because the control group was missing in one study [37], five trials investigated acute effects only, or language criterion was not met in one study [38]. Accordingly, the seven full text papers describing randomized controlled trials, including the two studies published in 2014 and 2015, were included in the present meta-analysis.…”

“…In contrast, Algucil et al reported short-term improvements in time of response to recover from sudden disturbances during stance suggesting that whole body vibration training is a possible therapeutic tool for maintaining balance and posture [1]. Similarly, a threeweek exercise program on a vibration plate significantly improved muscle strength, but not functionality, in persons with MS [9], and balance and walking time improved after a 3-week whole body vibration training without any adverse effects [30]. Clearly, there is insufficient evidence regarding the benefits of whole body vibration training on signs and symptoms of MS [40].…”

“…Most previous studies on whole body vibration training have focused on outcome parameters describing muscle strength, physical function and balance [1,6,9,30,43]. However, one of the main functional limitations associated with fatigue in MS patients is their reduced walking ability.…”

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to test the hypothesis that a three-week whole body vibration (WBV) training in addition to a standard rehabilitation program improves walking ability in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). PATIENTS AND METHOD: Sixty patients with definite MS were randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. Training sessions were performed three times per week for three weeks. Patients adopted a moderate squat position on a vibration platform. The training sessions comprised series of 3 × 60-sec exercise sets with increasing amplitude between sessions from 1 to 2 mm. During the exercise series, the vibration platform was turned on for the intervention group and switched off for the control group. A mixed factor ANOVA was used to compare sit to stand test, timed up and go test, 10-meter walk test, and 6-min walk test data between patient groups and between baseline and follow-up. RESULTS: All outcome measures improved from baseline to follow-up (P < 0.001). The 6-minute walk test showed significantly greater improvements from baseline to follow-up for the intervention than for the control group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Determinants of walking ability in patients with MS that are specific to walking endurance tasks are most affected by vibration training designed to improve strength endurance.
