The Effect of Vibration Therapy on the Bone Density of the Tiba in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
Status unconfirmed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injury
In brief
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effect of lower limb vibration therapy on bone density in the tibia in patients with spinal cord injury. The second purpose is to assess the neuromuscular junction variability at the motor units of the tibialis anterior muscle after a sequence of lower limb vibration therapy
