Chapter 17: Vibration Therapy
++
++
++
Vibratory amplitude is the primary determinant of effective vibratory stimuli.
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
Vibratory stimuli have no effect on bone healing in humans.
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
Whole body vibration and local muscle vibration both induce gravitational loading.
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
Vibration therapy can have adverse effects if a patient is exposed for too long or at higher frequencies.
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
Greater improvements in clinical outcomes are typically noted in healthy subjects compared to injured or diseased individuals.
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
Vibration therapy, in conjunction with traditional rehabilitation, may be effective for treating _____.
++
++
++
a. bone loss in older individuals
++
++
b. balance deficits following injury
++
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++

++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
Vibration has been demonstrated to improve dynamic postural control in individuals with _____.
++
++
++
