Improvement of stance control and muscle performance induced by focal muscle vibration in young-elderly women: a randomized controlled trial. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2009;90:2019-25. Objective: To determine the effect of a particular protocol of mechanical vibration, applied focally and repeatedly (repeated muscle vibration [rMV]) on the quadriceps muscles, on stance and lower-extremity muscle power of young-elderly women. Design: Double-blind randomized controlled trial: 3-month follow-up after intervention. Setting: Human Physiology Laboratories, University of Perugia, Italy. Participants: Sedentary women volunteers (N=60), randomized in 3 groups (mean age +/- SD, 65.3 +/- 4.2y; range, 60-72). Intervention: rMV (100Hz, 300-500 mu m, in three 10-minute sessions a day for 3 consecutive days) was applied to voluntary contracted quadriceps (vibrated and contracted group) and relaxed quadriceps (vibrated and relaxed group). A third group received placebo stimulation (nonvibrated group). Main Outcome Measures: Area of sway of the center of pressure, vertical jump heiaht, and leg power. Results: Twenty-four hours after the end of the complete series of applications, the area of sway of the center of pressure decreased significantly by approximately 20%, vertical jump increased by approximately 55%, and leg power increased by approximately 35%. These effects were maintained for at least 90 clays after treatment. Conclusions: rMV is a short-lasting and noninvasive protocol that can significantly and persistently improve muscle performance in sedentary young-elderly women.
