“…In this context, the prolonged and repeated afferent stimuli could promote substantial gelatinase activation through the nervous fiber type Aβ, triggering local inhibitory circuits in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Therefore, the nociceptive afferent stimuli transduced by C fibers might, as a result, be inhibited by presynaptic stimuli induced by the vibrations [23,[52][53][54]. Furthermore, another mechanism potentially responsible for pain relief induced by WBV could be related to the central nervous system mechanism involved in chronic pain sensation.…”

In this study, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of physical exercise, with or without whole-body vibration (WBV), in patients with aromatase inhibitor-induced musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS). Eligible patients were adults (≥18 years) with a history of breast cancer and current AIMSS. Enrolled patients (n = 22) were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive physical exercise combined with WBV or sham WBV for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was pain intensity measured by numerical pain rating scale (NPRS). The secondary endpoints were muscle strength, physical function, physical performance, and quality of life. The WBV group (mean age: 51.73 ± 10.73 years; body mass index (BMI): 25.56 ± 5.17 kg/m2) showed a statistically significant pain reduction (NPRS: 6.82 ± 1.17 vs. 5.73 ± 1.01; p = 0.031), whereas patients in the sham WBV group (mean age: 58.55 ± 9.71 years; BMI: 27.31 ± 3.84 kg/m2), did not reach statistical significance (NPRS: 6.91 ± 2.02 vs. 5.91 ± 2.51; p = 0.07). Concurrently, muscle strength, physical performance, and quality of life significantly improved in both groups, without significant differences between groups. No dropouts and no side effects were recorded. Both patients and the physical therapist reported a high level of satisfaction with the intervention. Our findings suggest that physical exercise and WBV combination might be a safe therapeutic option for improving the rehabilitative management of patients with AIMSS.

“…Vibration therapy is one of the rehabilitation programs that have potential benefits on muscle performance, mobility, postural control, and proprioception in healthy and neurological populations (Alashram et al, 2019a;Moggio et al, 2021). It takes advantage of sinusoidal mechanical oscillation to stimulate muscles, characterized by amplitude, frequency, and phase angle, that might be used in the rehabilitation field as whole-body vibration (WBV) and focal muscle vibration (FMV) (Alashram et al, 2019b;Moggio et al, 2021). Numerous mechanisms have been proposed to explain the vibration phenomenon (Cochrane, 2011).…”

BackgroundVibration therapy is one of the rehabilitation programs that may be effective in treating both motor and non-motor symptoms in Multiple Sclerosis patients. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of vibration therapy on motor and non-motor symptoms (functional mobility, balance, walking endurance, gait speed, fatigue, and quality of life) of this population.MethodsA systematic search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Scopus, Google Search Engine, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Two reviewers independently assessed the study quality.ResultsFourteen studies with 393 participants were finally included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that vibration therapy had a significant advantage over the control intervention in improving balance function [mean difference (MD) = 2.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.24–3.84, P = 0.03], and walking endurance (SMD = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.07–0.61, P = 0.01). Meanwhile, the degree of disability subgroup analysis revealed that the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score (3.5–6) significantly improved functional mobility (MD: −1.18, 95% CI: −2.09 to 0.28, P = 0.01) and balance function (MD: 3.04, 95% CI: 0.49–5.59, P = 0.02) compared with the control group, and the EDSS (0–3.5) were more beneficial in walking endurance. The duration subgroup analysis indicated a significant difference in the effect of the duration (<4 weeks) on enhancing walking endurance (SMD: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.04–0.87, P = 0.03). However, no significant improvement was found in functional mobility, gait speed, fatigue, and quality of life.ConclusionVibration therapy may improve balance function and walking endurance, and the degree of disability and duration of intervention may affect outcomes. The evidence for the effects of vibration therapy on functional mobility, gait speed, fatigue, and quality of life remains unclear. More trials with rigorous study designs and a larger sample size are necessary to provide this evidence.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO, https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/#recordDetails, identifier: CRD42022326852.

“…Usually, driver exposed prolonged exposure under the exposure of vibration during different farm operations [9]. Tractor drivers may also suffer musculoskeletal disorders [10], motion sickness [11], cardiovascular problem [7], and neurological problems [12] as a result of these work exposures. Therefore, the seat must be well-designed to avoid vibrations in this frequency band.…”

The aim of this investigation is to figure out the stress (compressive) on the lumbar spine of tractor driver posture among different ride conditions i.e., RPM (Revolutions per minute), Postures, and Road Conditions). The spinal stress under various riding conditions was assessed using the daily equivalent static compression dose (Sed). Design Expert, a statistical programme that combines Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal Array Method, is used to determine the experimental runs with different parameters such as varying the tractor speed in RPM (700, 1000 & 1300), driver posture (Lean forward without backrest-P1, vertical erect without backrest-P2, vertical erect with backrest-P3), selected road conditions (village road, brick road and farm road). Analysis of the overall influence of riding conditions among all the experiments was done by calculating signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios. A regression model has been developed to analyze the Sed response and the desirability technique was used to minimize the Sed response. The daily dose of static compression on lumber spine was found between 0.35 and 0.67 MPa, which comes within the category of “moderate adverse health effect” as defined by ISO2631-5: 2004. Statistically, the RPM and Road type conditions were found highly significant with the percentage contribution is 77% and 21% respectively. As comfort is crucial for the tractor driver. The Sed values can be used for tractor seat design for more comfort. The approach is novel as per the Indian context for the tractor driver’s comfort. The methods of work-study and sampling in a larger context are well established.
