Effects of vertical and side-alternating vibration training on fall risk factors and bone turnover in older people at risk of falls

Background: whole-body vibration training may improve neuromuscular function, falls risk and bone density, but previous studies have had conflicting findings. Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the influence of vertical vibration (VV) and side-alternating vibration (SV) on musculoskeletal health in older people at risk of falls. Design: single-blind, randomised, controlled trial comparing vibration training to sham vibration (Sham) in...
