Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the whole body vibration exercise on cortical activity and consciousness Level in brain injury patients with minimally conscious state.
Detailed description
Whole body vibration exercise can provide proper somatosensory stimulation and improve muscle strength and postural control. However, there has not yet been a report on the cortical activity changes induced by whole body vibration exercise in brain injury patients with minimally conscious state. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. One group will go through whole body vibration with exercise and the other will only perform exercise. The primary outcome measurement of this study was cerebral cortex activity based on changes in oxygenated hemoglobin concentration using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Behavioral assessment were performed using the coma recovery scale-revised and modified ashworth scale.

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEVICE | Whole body vibration | Whole body vibration exercise is a stimulus that uses vibrations generated on a machine with oscillatory movement determined by the amplitude and frequency of the vibration. |
| OTHER | Exersice | Exercise maintain a half-squat position (knee joint angle at 160 degrees) on the tilt table with an incline of 60 degrees. |
