whole body vibration therapy은 골절치유를 촉진시키는 joint loading 방법중 하나다.

좀더 알아봐야겠다.

Abstract

Due to various physical impairments, individuals with chronic diseases often live a sedentary lifestyle, which leads to physical de-conditioning. The associated muscle weakness, functional decline and bone loss also render these individuals highly susceptible to falls and fragility fractures. There is an urgent need to search for safe and effective intervention strategies to prevent fragility fractures by modifying the fall-related risk factors and enhancing bone health. 

- 다양한 육체적 손상때문에 만성질환을 앓고 있는 환자는 때로 좌식 생활속에서 살아감. 이는 육체적 탈조건상태임. 

- 관련 근육 약화, 뼈 손실은 이러한 환자들에게 골절의 위험성이 높음. 

- 그래서 안전하고 효과적인 골절방지 대책이 필요함. 

Whole body vibration (WBV) therapy has gained popularity in rehabilitation in recent years. In this type of treatment, mechanical vibration is delivered to the body while the individual is standing on an oscillating platform. As mechanical loading is one of the most powerful stimuli to induce osteogenesis, it is proposed that the mechanical stress applied to the human skeleton in WBV therapy might be beneficial for enhancing bone mass. 

Additionally, the vibratory signals also constitute a form of sensory stimulation and can induce reflex muscle activation, which could potentially induce therapeutic effects on muscle strength and important sensorimotor functions such as postural control. Increasing research evidence suggests that WBV is effective in enhancing hip bone mineral density, muscle strength and balance ability in elderly patients, and could have potential for individuals with chronic diseases, who often cannot tolerate vigorous impact or resistance exercise training. 

This article aims to discuss the potential role of WBV therapy in the prevention of fragility fractures among people with chronic diseases.

이거 자생물치실에서 얼마전에 받아봤습니다. 메카노 리셉터 자극하는 원리로 요통환자에게 쓰더군요..

아.. 장비가 따로 있구나 ㅎㅎ
