Q

According to the systematic study what does one session of whole body vibration do? (3 things)

(Ritzmann 2018)

A
  1. Reduces reflex excitability
  2. Reduces spasticity
  3. Reduces coordination deficits

Q

What positive effects does whole body vibration have? And what long term?

(Ritzmann 2018)

A

Positive effect on

  • ability to move
  • strength
  • gait
  • mobility

Long term?

  • reduce muscle tone + spasticity
  • improve mobility
4
Q

What changes are there in the muscles immediately after vibration?

(Ritzmann 2018)

A

Antagonise- muscle activity

5
Q

Vibration therapy triggers what two types of stimulation? And what does it do in these?

(Ritzmann 2018)

A

Sensory stimulation: muscle spindles, golgi-tendon organ join receptors

Mechanical stimulation: Dampening of vibration stimulus by muscle-tendon complex and rhythmic joint movement
