A comparative study of whole body vibration training and conventional training on knee proprioception and postural stability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
High-frequency whole-body vibration improves balancing ability in elderly women.

To investigate the efficacy of high-frequency whole-body vibration (WBV) on balancing ability in elderly women.

The feasibility of Whole Body Vibration in institutionalised elderly persons and its influence on muscle performance, balance and mobility: a randomised controlled trial.

Fatigue or lack of interest can reduce the feasibility of intensive physical exercise in nursing home residents. Low-volume exercise interventions with similar training effects might be an alternative. The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to investigate the feasibility of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) in institutionalised elderly, and its impact on functional capacity and muscle performance.

Effects of whole body vibration training on postural control in older individuals: a 1 year randomized controlled trial.

This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a 12 month whole body vibration training program on postural control in healthy older adults.

Effect of four-month vertical whole body vibration on performance and balance.

This randomized controlled study was designed to investigate the effects of a 4-month whole body vibration-intervention on muscle performance and body balance in young, healthy, nonathletic adults.
