ABSTRACT
Abstract We performed a clinical trial on the effects of whole-body vibration training (WBVT) muscle function and bone health adolescents young adults with cerebral palsy. Forty participants (11.3–20.8 years) mild to moderate palsy (GMFCS II–III) underwent 20-week WBVT plate for 9 minutes/day 4 times/week at 20 Hz (without controls). Assessments included 6-minute walk test, DXA, lower leg pQCT scans, (force plate). Twenty weeks were associated increased lean mass in total body (+770 g; p = 0.0003), trunk (+410 0.004), limbs (+240 0.012). Bone mineral content (+48 0.0001), lumbar spine (+2.7 (+13 < 0.0001). Similarly, density (+0.008 g/cm 2 ; 0.013), (+0.014 0.003), (+0.023 Participants reduced time taken perform chair improved distance walked test by 11% 35% those GMFCS II III, respectively. was increases density, mobility
