L3 Vibration Flashcards
Benefits of focal vibration
reduce muscle tone
decrease pain
increased blood flow
recover from DOMS flow
improve immediate ROM
recover from injury faster
Lower frequency is…
inhibitory
Higher frequency is…
excitatory
Osteogenesis
vibration can help with mesenchymal stem cell recruitment to osteoblastic activity
Precautions of vibration
anemia
clotting disorders
impaired sensation
Acute effects of whole body vibration
short term performance (due to post activation potentiation), combine with dynamic
Long term effects of whole body vibration
strength/power
adaptation of muscle spindles
stimulation of hormones
higher frequency, amplitude & longer duration is best
Weak evidence whole body vibration for the following benefits:
proprioceptive
pain
timing of vibration
prior to STM
before ROM exercise but no more than 2 min/area
Focal vibration ultimately provides
acute effects
PAP
acute excitation of the neuromuscular system
Whole body vibration ultimately causes…
long term effects w/regular use
possible short term effects due to PAP
