Advance in Effectiveness and Biomechanism of Whole-body Vibration Therapy for Osteoporosis (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Whole-body vibration therapy (WBVT), in which energy produced by a forced oscillation is transferred to the muscle and bone of an individual from a mechanical vibration platform, has been proposed as an alternative or adjunctive intervention for osteoporosis. In this review, the safety, effectiveness and the biomechanics of WBVT for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis were discussed.
