A system was developed to evaluate the physiological effects of whole body vibration and noise on rats. The system design consists of a closed loop feedback method of ensuring the vibration generated matches the experimental parameters for vibration. Preliminary experimentation will verify that mechanical properties of the platform table will not alter the intended magnitude and frequency of vibration. This system holds promise for future studies for whole body vibration and noise research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
