Whole Body Vibration on Running Biomechanics

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Knee Osteoarthritis

In brief

Whole body vibration (WBV) acutely improves quadriceps strength, and may improve long-term outcomes in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, it is unclear if WBV influences athletic tasks such as running. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of WBV on running biomechanics in individuals with ACLR.
