Whole‐body vibration training as a workplace‐based sports activity for employees with chronic low‐back pain

Abstract: The goal of this randomized and controlled study was to examine whether whole-body vibration (WBV) training is able to reduce back pain and physical disability in seated working office employees with chronic low-back pain in a real-world setting. A total of 41 subjects (68.3% female/mean age 45.5±9.1 years/mean BMI 26.6±5.2) were randomly allocated to an intervention group (INT [n=21]) or a control group (CON [n=20]). The INT participated in WBV training 2.5 times per week for 3 months. The primary outcome was… Show more

“…These studies were therefore added to the list of eligible studies. Of the 7 included studies [24][25][26][27][28][29][30], 4 investigated the effect of whole body vibration training combined with lumbar stability exercise in comparison with exercise alone, and the rest assessed the efficacy of WBV therapy in people with LBP as compared to no treatment. Figure 1 depicts the process of study selection.…”

“…So far, promising effects were shown in metal-manufacturing workers [ 23 ], health-care professionals, and nurses [ 21 , 35 ]. To our knowledge there is only one study focusing on the effects of SR-WBV on balance in office workers [ 18 , 22 ] that found an improvement of balance after four weeks of SR-WBV. As that result, due to restrictions of spatial arrangements, was not compared with a control group, studies were needed that pay particular attention to the effects of SR-WBV on balance compared to a control group.…”

“…As that result, due to restrictions of spatial arrangements, was not compared with a control group, studies were needed that pay particular attention to the effects of SR-WBV on balance compared to a control group. Kaeding et al [ 22 ] implemented a 3-month sinusoidal WBV intervention in office workers comparing training and control group but found no improvement of balance. As we found an improvement of balance after a shorter intervention of 4 weeks SR-WBV, which was not found after 3 months of sinusoidal WBV, it might underline the special nature of stochastic vibration that acts as an exercise for the sensorimotor system [ 25 ].…”
