“…Vibrational stimulation provokes the mechanical receptors such as Pacini and Meissner, which sense the vibrations, then A-beta myelinated fibers transmitted this sense of vibrations to the posterior horn of the spinal cord and suppresses pain transmission to the higher centers (29). Also, vibrational stimulation reduces the level of P substance in the CSF and has a neurophysiological placebo effect that reduces pain transmission from peripheral receptors to the brain (30). Additionally, vibratory stimulation triggers a tonic vibrational reflex (TVR).…”

Background. Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent and costly musculoskeletal problems. Impaired neuromuscular control and reduced use of the dorsal and abdominal muscles lead to instability in the spine and subsequent injury. Recently, vibration therapy has been proposed as an alternative method for LBP rehabilitation. Flexi-bar is a vibratory tool. When it is shaken, the core muscles are automatically activated to control the trunk against oscillatory forces created by the Flexi-bar. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Flexi-bar and stabilization exercises in LBP rehabilitation. Methods. Thirty-eight patients were randomly assigned into Flexi-bar (n = 19) and stabilization (n = 19) groups. The Flexi-bar group received general physiotherapy and Flexi-bar exercises and the stabilization group received general physiotherapy and stabilization exercises. Both groups received treatment for 3 sessions per week, a total of 10 sessions. The outcome measures were Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and Sorensen test. Results. After the intervention, both groups showed a significant improvement in pain, functional disability, and back muscles endurance (p < 0.05) however, no significant differences were found between the groups after treatment, while only back muscles endurance was significantly improved in the Flexi-bar group over the stabilization group (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Neither of the two exercise interventions wasn't superior in reducing pain and functional disability. However, the Flexi-bar group showed significant improvement in back muscles endurance over the stabilization group. Flexi-bar is recommended as an effective, portable, and cheap tool in LBP rehabilitation. Study registration. This study was registered in the Clinical Trial Center with no: IRCT20191015045122N1.

IntroductionDynapenia is a new term that is used to describe the age-related loss of muscle strength. Flexi-bar training is a safe and feasible device for older people with dynapenia. This study will investigate the effects of a 12-week flexi-bar training programme on muscle strength and physical function in older people with dynapenia.Methods and analysisA total of 114 participants (aged more than 65 years) with age-related muscle loss will participate in a 12-week flexi-bar training programme. The participants will be randomly divided into three groups, namely, flexi-bar, placebo and control, with equal number of participants in each group. The assessments will be conducted at preintervention, postintervention and 12 weeks after training completion. The primary outcome is timed-up-and-go test. The secondary outcomes are five-repetition sit-to-stand test, 10-metre walking test, handgrip strength, as well as the serum albumin and haemoglobin levels.Ethics and disseminationThe procedures of this study were reviewed and approved by the Human Ethics Review Board of Wuhan Brain Hospital (General Hospital of the Yangtze River Shipping) on 29 September 2020 (#L20200013). The findings of this study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at conferences. The trial was registered on 6 November 2020.Trial registration numberISRCTN14316668.

“…In this case, the device can maintain stability of force constantly 18) . Vibration generated by flexi bar will stimulate core muscle functioning [19][20][21] to generate reaction with the change of cross-sectional area of muscles and increase muscle activate throughout the body [22][23][24] . For core muscles in human body, training with flexi bar can help encourage the functioning system of nerve muscles to perform reaction faster 25,26) .…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of flexi bar training model and moderate running exercise on health-related physical fitness in overweight adults. [Participants and Methods] Forty participants were randomly assigned to an experimental (20 participant performing flexi bar training model (FBT)) and control (20 participant performing moderate running exercise (MRE) group. The participant in both groups then underwent program training 50 min/day, 3 times a week, for 12 weeks. The main outcome measures were health related physical fitness (HRPF). [Results] The result showed significant differences between FBT and MRE group. After 12 weeks FBT showed improve HRPF variable. [Conclusion] flexi bar training model can improvement health related physical fitness in overweight adults.
