“…Vibration training bears attractive features as a fall prevention intervention and has been applied in various populations [46][47][48][49]. It is a low-intensity and passive exercise that may benefit older adults unable or unwilling to follow complex instructions or tolerate higher activity demands.…”

Background Although vibration training has been applied in older adults, it remains unclear if it can reduce falls. Aims This pilot randomized-controlled trial aimed to test the effects of an 8-week vibration training program on reducing falls among community-dwelling adults. Methods Forty-eight older adults were randomized to two groups: training and control. The training group received three weekly training sessions over eight weeks while the control group maintained their normal lifestyle over the 8-week period. Immediately before (or baseline), following (post-training), and three months after (retest) the 8-week training course, a group of fall risk factors were assessed for all participants. Each participant was also exposed to an unexpected gait-slip on a treadmill during post-training and retest sessions. Their daily-living fall incidence was collected for 12 months after the baseline test. The slip fall was the primary outcome, prospective all-cause falls were the secondary outcome, and fall risk factors acted as the tertiary ones. Results The vibration training program significantly reduced the risk of slip-falls and improved all fall risk factors immediately after the training course. The training effect may be carried over for three months. The 8-week training program could also lower the number of falls between the baseline test and retest and reduce the recurrent faller rate across the 12 months after the baseline test. Discussion This study indicates that vibration training might have some effects on fall-related measures in older adults. Conclusions An 8-week vibration training program could be effective to reduce falls in older adults. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number NCT02694666.

“…Patients were evaluated using a Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT-3), a commonly used scale of cognitive scores, that included processing speed when evaluating auditory information, computing ability, continuous attention, and distraction. Yang et al (2016) Although the majority of studies demonstrated that WBV training improved the cognitive ability of patients with cognitive impairment, after collation and extraction of data from relevant manuscripts, a small number of studies showed conflicted findings. In Lam et al (2018) published results that were the converse of these conclusions.…”

BackgroundWhole-body vibration (WBV) training is a novel training method that stimulates the human neuromuscular system by the use of vibration, the frequency and amplitude of which are controlled, thereby inducing adaptive changes in the body. WBV training is widely used as a clinical prevention and rehabilitation tool in physical medicine and neuro-rehabilitation as a clinical prevention and rehabilitation tool.ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to review the effects of WBV on cognitive function, provide an evidence-based foundation for future research on WBV training, and promote additional popularization and use of the methodology in clinical practice.MethodsA systematic review of articles extracted from the following six databases was conducted: PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus. A literature search was performed on articles in which the effects of WBV on cognitive function were evaluated.ResultsInitially, a total of 340 studies were initially identified, among which 18 articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected for inclusion in the systematic review. Participants were allocated into two groups: patients with cognitive impairment and healthy individuals. The results demonstrated that WBV was both positive and ineffective in its influence on cognitive function.ConclusionThe majority of studies suggested that WBV may be a useful strategy for the management of cognitive impairment and should be considered for inclusion in rehabilitation programs. However, the impact of WBV on cognition requires additional, larger, and adequately powered studies.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=376821, identifier CRD42022376821.

“…duration of 1 minute were selected based on previous studies, which adopted similar parameters and reported positive results in people with MS. 13,14 The tilting movement of the side-alternating vibration induces rotation at the hip and lumbosacral joints. 29 This extra degree of freedom lowers the body's mechanical impedance, prompts the energy transfer to the human body, and facilitates neuromuscular adaptations.…”

“…This study's overall objective was to examine the effect of a 6-week progressive vibration training course on cognition and QOL in people with MS based on a randomized controlled design. Previous studies that adopted an 8-week training program reported health benefits in people with MS. 13,14 The vibration amplitude and bout duration were fixed at 2 mm and 1 minute, respectively, in previous studies. In the present study, the vibration amplitude and bout duration gradually increased from 2 mm and 1 minute, respectively.…”

“…The results reinforce the conclusion from a previous study, which was based on a single-group design. 13 It has been suggested that vibration training could be an effective training modality, producing effects similar to resistance (ie, strengthening muscles) and aerobic exercise (ie, enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness). 22 Increasing evidence confirms that physical activity delays disease progression in people with MS. 23 Previous studies documented that both resistance and aerobic training have the potential to mitigate disability level in people with MS. 24 The T25FW test score is primarily based on ambulatory capability.…”

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) detrimentally affects cognition and quality of life (QOL). Interventions that can improve cognitive deficit and QOL in people with MS are desired. This pilot study investigated the possible effects of vibration training on improving cognition and QOL in people with MS. Methods: Eighteen adults with MS were randomized into two groups: training and control. The training group underwent 6 weeks of vibration training, and the control group maintained their normal lifestyle throughout the study. In both groups, before and after the training course, the disability status was evaluated by the Patient-Determined Disease Steps scale and the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC), cognitive function was assessed by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) and the Selective Reminding Test (SRT), and QOL was gauged by the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Results: The training was well accepted by the participants, and no major adverse event was reported. All participants finished the entire protocol. Compared with the control group, after the training the training group showed greater improvements in MSFC score, Metacognition Index score of the BRIEF, SRT score, and physical domain score of the SF-36. Conclusions: These results suggest that vibration training could be an effective alternative training paradigm to enhance cognition and QOL in people with MS, and they provide an encouraging base to conduct a large-scale clinical trial.
