2018. Ritzmann. Vibration Therapy In Patients With CP systematic review Flashcards
What does the traffic light report for whole body vibration?
- gross motor goal: yellow over worth it line, half way up to green (1-3 RCTs)
- tone management: just above worth it line (1-3 RCTs)
According to the systematic study what does one session of whole body vibration do? (3 things)
(Ritzmann 2018)
- Reduces reflex excitability
- Reduces spasticity
- Reduces coordination deficits
What positive effects does whole body vibration have? And what long term?
(Ritzmann 2018)
Positive effect on
- ability to move
- strength
- gait
- mobility
Long term?
- reduce muscle tone + spasticity
- improve mobility
What changes are there in the muscles immediately after vibration?
(Ritzmann 2018)
Antagonise- muscle activity
Vibration therapy triggers what two types of stimulation? And what does it do in these?
(Ritzmann 2018)
Sensory stimulation: muscle spindles, golgi-tendon organ join receptors
Mechanical stimulation: Dampening of vibration stimulus by muscle-tendon complex and rhythmic joint movement
Vibration therapy helps patients with CP to master daily life challenges primarily through:
(Ritzmann 2018)
Facilitation of movement quality
