23-66 VIBRAŢIILE MECANICE CA O MODALITATE DE TRATAMENT


VIBRATION AS A TREATMENT MODALITY
Whilst exposure to vibration is traditionally regarded as perilous,
recent research has focused on potential benefits. Acute physiological
responses to isolated tendon and muscle vibration and to whole body vibration
exercise are reviewed, as well as the training effects upon the musculature,
bone mineral density and posture. Possible applications in sports and medicine
are discussed. Vibration training also seems to improve balance in subpopulations
prone to fall, such as frail elderly people.
