“…Also, the positive effects of vibration training have been observed in patients with chronic low back pain. Namely, Iwamoto et al [53] in their study intended to evaluate the effects of vibration training on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women while establishing an eligibility criterion which included the presence of chronic low back pain. All subjects felt relief in leg muscles and back after one year treatment, and, besides that, they reported less pain in the lumbar region of the spine.…”

“…Of all the studies that have dealt with this issue only three groups of authors [38,49,53] did not record statistically significant positive whole body vibration training effects on the bone characteristics in postmenopausal women. It is important to specify that, in this case, the lack of statistically significant results can be seen as a positive effect because, as stated above, after menopause, bone mineral density declines rapidly.…”

“…20,26,27 One study involved healthy volunteers who participated in only one treatment session. 26 Although this study did not evaluate the direct treatment of LBP, a clear relationship between reduced lumbrosacral proprioception and LBP in individuals with segmental lumbar instability has been established in the literature.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the current evidence base for whole-body vibration as a treatment for low back pain (LBP). Summary of key points: Whole-body vibration through occupational exposure has previously been recognized as an aetiological factor in LBP. Previous studies have identified whole-body vibration (WBV) as a cause of LBP in various sitting-based occupations that involve machinery and repetitive vibration. In the last decade, however, WBV has been advocated as a safe and effective treatment for LBP. Despite the growing popularity of WBV in clinical practice, this systematic review of the literature identified only two studies that investigated the effectiveness of WBV as a treatment option for LBP, and an assessment of the quality of these studies demonstrated several methodological problems that may have biased their findings. While there is emerging evidence for the effectiveness of WBV in treating some medical conditions, the evidence for WBV as a treatment for LBP remains equivocal. Recommendations: Based on the current body of evidence, routine use of WBV to treat LBP should be undertaken with caution. Further rigorous research designed to investigate the effectiveness of WBV as a safe and high-quality treatment for LBP is required.Key Words: evidence-based practice, low back pain, systematic review, whole-body vibration RÉ SUMÉObjectif : L'objectif de cette revue systé matique é tait d'é valuer l'ensemble des preuves cliniques à l'appui du recours aux vibrations du corps entier pour le traitement des lombalgies.

Des é tudes dé jà ré alisé es ont reconnu ces vibrations comme causes de lombalgie dans diverses activité s professionnelles effectué es principalement en position assise, où il y a pré sence de machinerie et de vibrations ré pé titives.

“…For this reason, exercise programs to improve BMD in the elderly are limited. Some studies suggest that stretching and vibration training may be associated with increased bone density, but the relationship between BMD and multiple fitness remains controversial 16,17) . Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the prevalence of osteopenia in the elderly according to several fitness factors including endurance, strength, and flexibility.…”

Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) has been associated with fitness, nutrition, lifestyle, and genetic factors such as sex and race. The aim of this study was to determine whether athletic performance in middle-to-old-aged men affected the development of osteopenia. Methods: This cross-sectional study pooled data collected from 3,560 men in their 40-70's. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine 1-4 and the femoral neck. The fitness tests included strength (grip strength), flexibility (trunk forward flexion), and cardiopulmonary fitness (maximum oxygen consumption, VO2max). Results: The participants in the normal and osteopenia groups were aged 49.9±5.0 (mean±standard deviation) and 50.4±5.1 years, respectively. Those in the highest quartile (Q4) of VO2max had a significantly increased risk of having osteopenia (adjusted odds ratio 1.687; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.193-2.387; p=0.003). Participants in the highest quartile (Q4) of grip strength had a significantly higher adjusted odds ratio (1.445) of having osteopenia (95% CI, 1.099-1.857; p=0.009). Finally, flexibility was 1.454 times higher for the lowest group (Q4) than for the highest group (Q1) (95% CI, 1.194-1.887; p=0.003). Conclusion: Higher levels of cardiopulmonary fitness and flexibility in middle-aged men may decrease the prevalence of osteopenia and prevent loss of BMD.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Effect of whole-body vibration exercise on lumbar bone mineral density, bone turnover, and chronic back pain in post-menopausal osteoporotic women treated with alendronate

Abstract: The results of this study suggest that whole-body vibration exercise using a Galileo machine appears to be useful in reducing chronic back pain, probably by relaxing the back muscles in post-menopausal osteoporotic women treated with alendronate.
