Introduction: Among chronic diseases, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a joint disease that causes important progressive alterations in the articular and periarticular structures, including synovial inflammation. Exercise has been suggested as an intervention to KOA individuals, studies suggest whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise decreases pain levels favours functionality of individuals. Objective: The aim present study analyze acute effects WBV on levels, (Timed Up Go (TUG test), anterior...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is related to overweight and obesity, contributes clinical limitations. Exercise used for the management of MetS individuals, who are often not motivated perform this practice. Whole body vibration exercise (WBVE) produces several biological effects, besides being safe, effective, feasible individuals. This pseudo-randomized cross-over controlled trial study aimed analyze effects WBVE on individuals’ neuromuscular activation using surface electromyography (sEMG)...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect on quality life two non-pharmacological interventions isolated or in combination: (i) passive whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE), and (ii) auriculotherapy (AT). One hundred three participants with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) were allocated to: (a) a group (WBVEG; n = 17) that performed WBVE (peak-to-peak displacement: 2.5 7.5 mm, frequency: 5 14 Hz, Peak acceleration: 0.12 2.95 g), days/weekly for five weeks, (b) an AT (ATG; 21), stimulation...
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) can cause functional disability. Neuromuscular function is relevant in the development and progression of KOA. It be evaluated by analysis surface electromyography (sEMG), which has an important role understanding Whole-body vibration (WBV) intervention suggested to treat The objective this work was verify effectiveness WBV on functionality lower limbs electromyographic profile vastus lateralis (VL) muscles during five-repetition chair stand test (5CST) patients...
Down-syndrome (DS) the most common genetic disorder worldwide. Whole-body-vibration-exercise (WBVE) has been recommended for individuals with DS. To verify efficacy of WBVE on sleep disorders, body-composition (BC) and clinical parameters children It is a randomized cross-over-trial. Children DS, 5-12 years, both-genders will be selected. The disorders evaluated by "Infant questionnaire Reimão Lefevre" "Sleep disturbance scale in children". BC measure bioimpedance skin temperature using...
