Neuromuscular Training With Whole Body Vibration in Older People: A Randomized Multicentre Clinical Trial With Blinded to Evaluator

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 160 (actual)
• Sponsor: Asociacion Colaboracion Cochrane Iberoamericana · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

This is a randomized, multicentre, and parallel clinical trial with blinded to evaluator. The principal hypothesis is that whole-body vibration training plus exercise improves the body balance and prevents falls more than only exercise training in institutionalized older people. The number needed of patients is 160 (80 per group).

Conditions

• Aging

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Exercise with Whole-body vibration platform	The participants will perform static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) on a vibratory platform (Frequency: 30-35 Hz; Amplitude: 2-4 mm).
OTHER	Exercise	The participants will perform the same static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) like WBV group but without the vibration stimuli.
