Semi-Recumbent Vibration Therapy in Older Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating VibeTech One for Sarcopenia and Aging. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This proposed prospective study will evaluate whether a novel exercise approach, seated vibration therapy, can improve function in the target population of older adults. Therefore, the primary aim of this pilot is to examine the effect of vibration therapy on muscle function (balance, muscle power and strength) and muscle mass.

Timeline
Interventions
Vibration Training The VibeTech One Rehab Chair allows vibration exercise while seated. A force is applied on a footplate that simulates the weight of standing or partial bodyweight. The participants will train for 10 minutes 3 days per week. In the "loading + vibration group" (intervention group) vibratory acceleration will be 30Hz and the applied load will be 50% of body weight up to a device maximum applied load of 100 lbs. Vibration intensity will initially be set to 0.2 g and will increase by 0.2 g every other week, as tolerated by the subject, and max out at 1.0 g.
