“…In the next step, the executive group will use the generated list of the Delphi study to develop the reporting guidelines, according to the EQUATOR Network [36] recommendations. Issues that will be considered are (1) modifications of items (e.g., rephrasing), (2) adding further items deemed as important (e.g., define the boundaries of low and high frequency), (3) discussing the comments of disagreeing experts and potential consequences for the guidelines, (4) decide about the inclusion/exclusion of the optional items, and (5) the publication and dissemination strategy (e.g., register at EQUATOR Network).…”

Towards reporting guidelines of research using whole-body vibration as training or treatment regimen in human subjects—A Delphi consensus study

Background Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a method utilizing vibrating platforms to expose individuals to mechanical vibration. In its various applications, it has been linked to improved muscular, skeletal, metabolic, or cognitive functioning, quality of life, and physiological parameters such as blood pressure. Most evidence concerning WBV is inconclusive and meta-analytical reviews may not readily produce insights since the research has a risk of misunderstandings of vibration parameters and incomplete reporting occurs. This study aims at laying an empirical foundation for reporting guidelines for human WBV studies to improve the quality of reporting and the currently limited comparability between studies. Method The Delphi methodology is employed to exploit the integrated knowledge of WBV experts to distil the specific aspects of WBV methodology that should be included in such guidelines. Over three rounds of completing online questionnaires, the expert panel (round 1/2/3: 51/ 40/37 experts respectively from 17 countries with an average of 19.4 years of WBV research experience) rated candidate items.

“…Previous studies have tested the effects of vibration on cultured myoblasts, and muscle of humans and mice, albeit with different vibration protocols (Ceccarelli et al, ; Chang, Lin, Yang, & Yang, ; Wang et al, ). Numerous studies have explored the effects of higher intensity vibration as an exercise stimulus on healthy, intact muscle with a focus on neuromuscular outcomes (Alam et al, ). These reports varied significantly in experimental design as well as in their main findings (Alam et al, ).…”

“…Numerous studies have explored the effects of higher intensity vibration as an exercise stimulus on healthy, intact muscle with a focus on neuromuscular outcomes (Alam et al, ). These reports varied significantly in experimental design as well as in their main findings (Alam et al, ). Wang et al () applied vibration at 5, 8, and 10 Hz with an amplitude of 0.4 mm (compared to <0.1 mm in our study) for 10 min per day for up to 6 days to confluent C2C12 myoblasts in growth medium and observed an increase in myotube number, size, and fusion.…”

“…Vibration therapy may be a promising candidate for passively applying mechanical stimuli to muscle. To date, the majority of studies exploring the effects of vibration on skeletal muscle focus on neuromuscular outcomes related to strength and power in exercise, and a recent review of these studies shows conflicting evidence with many studies reporting that vibration increases muscle strength while others report no change (Alam, Khan, & Farooq, ). Many of these studies apply signals ranging from 5 g to 32 g acceleration, which can be considered high‐intensity vibration.…”

Recovery from traumatic muscle injuries is typically prolonged and incomplete. Our previous study demonstrated that whole‐body low‐intensity vibration (LIV) enhances healing in a mouse laceration model. We sought to determine whether locally applied LIV (a) improves muscle repair following injury in mice and (b) is directly transduced by cultured muscle cells, via increased IGF‐1 activity. C57BL/6J mice were subjected to laceration of the gastrocnemius muscle and were treated with LIV applied directly to the lower leg for 30 min/day or non‐LIV sham treatment (controls) for 7 or 14 days. LIV was also applied to differentiating myotubes in culture for 30 min/day for 3 or 6 days. Compared with control mice, LIV increased myofiber cross‐sectional area, diameter, and percent area of peripherally nucleated fibers, and decreased percent damaged area after 14 days of treatment. In cultured myotubes, LIV increased fusion and diameter compared with controls after 6 days of treatment. These LIV‐induced effects were associated with increased total Akt on day 7 in injured muscle and on day 3 in myotubes, whereas phosphorylated‐to‐total Akt ratio increased on day 14 in injured muscle and on day 6 in myotubes but were not associated with increased IGF‐1 levels at any time point. These changes were also associated with LIV‐induced suppression of FOXO1 and Atrogin‐1 gene expression at day 7 in injured muscle. These findings demonstrate that muscle cells can directly transduce LIV signals into increased growth and differentiation, and this effect is associated with increased Akt signaling.

The Effectiveness of Trunk Stabilization Exercise Combined with Vibration for Adolescent Patients with Nonspecific Low Back Pain

There are many adolescent patients complaining of low back pain, but research on it is lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of trunk stabilization exercise combined with vibration on the pain, proprioception, and kinematics of the lumbar spine (LS) during sit to stand (STS) in adolescent patients with nonspecific low back pain (LBP). Fifty LBP patients were recruited and were randomly divided into two groups: Vibration group (n = 25) and placebo group (n = 25). All participants underwent 36-sessions of training consisting of six exercises. The Vibration group provided vibration stimulation during exercise, but the placebo group did not. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and digital dual inclinometer were used to measure pain intensity and proprioception. The kinematics of the lumbar spine during STS were measured by motion capture system. After training, the pain and proprioception in the vibration group improved significantly greater than the placebo group (p < 0.05). The mobility of LS (maximum range of motion, angular velocity, lumbar to hip movement ratios) and lumbar-hip coordination during STS in the vibration group were significantly improved compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). Thus, trunk stabilization exercise combined with vibration may be used to improve the pain, proprioception, and kinematic of the lumbar spine during sit to stand in adolescent patients with LBP.
