“…Any interruption of these states could lead to changes in the neurophysiological functions [ 47 ]. If applied briefly at high frequencies, vibration may cause a motor unit activation, synchronization between muscle spindles, reflexive recruitment and excitation of previously inactive motor units, which ultimately leads to enhanced force production [ 1 , 14 , 17 , 36 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ]. This phenomenon has been referred to as “tonic vibration reflex” [ 54 ].…”

The use of massage guns has become increasingly popular in recent years. Although their use is more and more common, both in a clinical and sports context, there is still little information to guide the practitioners. This systematic review aimed to determine the effects of massage guns in healthy and unhealthy populations as pre- and post-activity or part of a treatment. Data sources used were PubMed, PEDro, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science and Google Scholar, and the study eligibility criteria were based on “healthy and unhealthy individuals”, “massage guns”, “pre-activity, post-activity or part of a treatment” and “randomized and non-randomized studies” (P.I.C.O.S.). Initially, 281 records were screened, but only 11 could be included. Ten had a moderate risk of bias and one a high risk of bias. Massage guns could be effective in improving iliopsoas, hamstrings, triceps suralis and the posterior chain muscles’ flexibility. In strength, balance, acceleration, agility and explosive activities, it either did not have improvements or it even showed a decrease in performance. In the recovery-related outcomes, massage guns were shown to be cost-effective instruments for stiffness reduction, range of motion and strength improvements after a fatigue protocol. No differences were found in contraction time, rating of perceived exertion or lactate concentration. Massage guns can help to improve short-term range of motion, flexibility and recovery-related outcomes, but their use in strength, balance, acceleration, agility and explosive activities is not recommended.

“…Although most studies used amplitude by displacement (mm), Afzal et al 22 applied it as gravity acceleration (G). Both are important units of measurement since the relationship between amplitude and acceleration depends on frequency, and the lower the frequency, the higher the peak-to-peak amplitude for a given peak-to-peak acceleration 38 .…”

Effects of muscle tendon vibration on balance after stroke: systematic review

et al. 2022

After cerebrovascular accident (CVA), people have complex combinations of sensory, motor, cognitive, and emotional deficits, which can affect static and dynamic balance. This study aimed to compile and summarize the main features and findings of protocols used in research that investigated the effects of muscle tendon vibration on static and dynamic balance in adults with stroke. This is a systematic review, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022303874), in which searches were performed in the databases PubMed, Cochrane, LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE, Science Direct, and PEDro, during the month of January 2022, using the combination of keywords related to “stroke,” “balance,” “muscle tendon vibration,” “randomized controlled trial.” Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. A total of 1,560 studies were identified, 11 of which were included, between the years 1994 to 2020, involving 242 post-stroke adults. Only five studies used vibration as an intervention and found an improvement in static and dynamic balance. Six studies analyzed the interference of vibration on postural control, showing that balance was affected during the application of vibration and that individuals needed more time to recover or did not experience significant differences. We found that the effects of muscle tendon vibration may be able to improve balance in people with stroke and influence postural control by proprioceptive mechanisms of vibration. However, more studies of high methodological quality are needed to reach a consensus regarding muscle tendon vibration treatment protocols and their recommendation in clinical practice.

“…Apesar de grande parte dos estudos fazer uso da amplitude por deslocamento (mm), Afzal et al 22 aplicaram como aceleração de gravidade (G). Ambos são unidades de medidas importantes, já que a relação entre a amplitude e a aceleração depende da frequência, e quanto menor a frequência, maior a amplitude pico a pico para uma determinada aceleração pico a pico 38 .…”

Efeitos da vibração do tendão muscular no equilíbrio após acidente vascular cerebral: revisão sistemática

et al. 2022

RESUMO Após o acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), as pessoas apresentam combinações complexas de déficits sensoriais, motores, cognitivos e emocionais que podem afetar o equilíbrio estático e dinâmico. O objetivo do estudo foi compilar e resumir as principais características e achados de protocolos utilizados em pesquisas que investigaram os efeitos da vibração no tendão muscular no equilíbrio estático e dinâmico em adultos com AVC. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, registrada na PROSPERO (CRD42022303874), em que foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados PubMed, Cochrane, LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE, Science Direct e PEDro, durante o mês de janeiro de 2022, por meio da combinação de palavras-chave relacionadas a “stroke”, “balance”, “muscle tendon vibration” e “randomized controlled trial”. A qualidade metodológica foi avaliada através da escala PEDro. Foram identificados 1.560 estudos, dos quais 11 foram incluídos, publicados entre 1994 e 2020, envolvendo 242 adultos pós-AVC. Apenas cinco estudos utilizaram a vibração como intervenção e verificaram melhora no equilíbrio estático e dinâmico. Seis estudos analisaram a interferência da vibração no controle postural, observando que o equilíbrio foi afetado durante a aplicação da vibração e que os indivíduos precisaram de mais tempo para se recuperar ou não sofreram diferenças significativas. Verificou-se que os efeitos da vibração do tendão muscular podem melhorar o equilíbrio em pessoas com AVC e influenciar o controle postural através de mecanismos proprioceptivos da vibração. Entretanto, são necessários mais estudos de alta qualidade metodológica para atingir um consenso em relação aos protocolos de tratamento com vibração do tendão muscular e sua recomendação na prática clínica.
