Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration training on muscle strength and balance in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. Design Fifteen children were assigned to the experimental group, which received whole-body vibration training (9 mins per day, 5 days per week). Another 15 were assigned to the control group, which participated in a traditional physical therapy exercise program for 3 successive months. Baseline and posttreatment assessments…

The effect of two therapeutic interventions on balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy: A comparative study
Effect of Whole Body Vibration with Stretching Exercise on Active and Passive Range of Motion in Lower Extremities in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Clinical Trial
TLDR
Stretching with WBV increases active range of motion in hip flexion, abduction and ankle dorsal flexion and also can improve speed of walking in children with CP.
Effect of combining passive muscle stretching and whole body vibration on spasticity and physical performance of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy
TLDR
It was showed that 6 weeks of combined prolonged PMS and WBV had beneficial effects on the spasticity, muscle strength and balance of children and adolescents with CP.

TLDR
WBV training with whole-body vibration delivered in the horizontal direction may be a potential intervention for improvement of motor function and balance in patients who previously experienced a stroke.
The effects of whole body vibration on mobility and balance in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review with meta-analysis
TLDR
Whole-body vibration may improve gait speed and standing function in children with cerebral palsy and could be considered for inclusion in rehabilitation programs.
Effect of Vestibular Stimulation Versus Whole Body Vibration on StandingBalance in Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
TLDR
Vestibular stimulation with conventional physiotherapy exercises brings about more improvement in balance than whole body vibration and conventional physiotherapist exercises.
Short and Long-Term Effects of Whole-Body Vibration on Spasticity and Motor Performance in Children With Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy
TLDR
It is concluded that WBV is an effective incremental approach to conventional physiotherapy in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy for inhibiting spasticity and improving motor performance.
Effect of whole body vibration training on gait function and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy
TLDR
This study found statistically significant differences in the WBV group's walking speed, step length of the affected side, and step width pre- and post-training for spatiotemporal gait parameters, compared with the conventional physical therapy group.

Antigravity treadmill training may be a useful tool for improving gait parameters, balance, and fall risk in children with diplegic cerebral palsy.
Effects of Whole Body Vibration Training on Lower Limb Muscle Thickness and Gross Motor Function in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy
TLDR

Effect of whole body vibration training on mobility in children with cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled experimenter-blinded study
TLDR
The findings suggest that whole body vibration may improve mobility in children with cerebral palsy, probably through a positive effect on the leg muscles.
Vibration treatment in cerebral palsy: A randomized controlled pilot study.
TLDR
The WBV protocol used in this study appears to be safe in children with cerebral palsy and may improve mobility function but it did not detect a positive treatment effect on bone.
Strength increase after whole-body vibration compared with resistance training.
TLDR
WBV, and the reflexive muscle contraction it provokes, has the potential to induce strength gain in knee extensors of previously untrained females to the same extent as resistance training at moderate intensity.
Effect of a new physiotherapy concept on bone mineral density, muscle force and gross motor function in children with bilateral cerebral palsy.
TLDR
The new physiotherapy concept had a significant effect on bone mineral density, muscle force and gross motor function in bilateral spastic cerebral palsy children and implicates an amelioration in all International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health levels.
Preliminary results on the mobility after whole body vibration in immobilized children and adolescents.
TLDR
The authors concluded WBV might be a promising approach to improve mobility in severely motor-impaired children and adolescents and the Cologne Standing-and-Walking- Trainer powered by Galileo is a suitable therapeutic device to apply WBV in immobilizedChildren and adolescents.
Results of a prospective pilot trial on mobility after whole body vibration in children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta
TLDR
Whole body vibration may be a promising approach to improve mobility in children and adolescents severely affected with osteogenesis imperfecta.
Effects of 4 weeks whole body vibration on electromechanical delay, rate of force development, and presynaptic inhibition.
TLDR
Enhanced neuromuscular activation (EMD and RFD) and increased spinal reflex gain followed by 4 weeks ofWBV training indicate that WBV training might be used not only for athletes engaged in sports that require explosive type of muscular activation, but also for the elderly individual who need to exert a rapid rise in muscle force in injury related situations.
Acute changes in neuromuscular excitability after exhaustive whole body vibration exercise as compared to exhaustion by squatting exercise
TLDR
It is followed that in exercise unto comparable degrees of exhaustion and muscular fatigue, superimposed 26’Hz vibration appears to elicit an alteration in neuromuscular recruitment patterns, which apparently enhance neuromUScular excitability.
Acute whole-body vibration elicits post-activation potentiation
TLDR
An acute continuous bout of WBV caused a post-activation potentiation of muscle twitch potentiation (TP) compared to WBV− and CYCL indicating that a greater myogenic response was evident compared to a neural-mediated effect of a reflex potentiated effect (RP).
The effects of random whole-body-vibration on motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease.
TLDR
According to the structure of symptom changes it is unlikely that these effects are explainable on peripheral sensory level, exclusively and with respect to the findings of other studies one can speculate about changes in activation of the supplementary motor area and in neurotransmitter functions.
