Scientists find mechanical stimulation could be used to prevent falls and strengthen muscles astonuniversity SciReports
, contradicting the common belief that a higher velocity reflects a worse ability of controlling posture. The simultaneous recording of a significant increase of mean velocity and no significant change of COP mean distance might suggest that the average amount of time necessary to cover a fixed distance decreases after vibrations are applied.
WBV stimulation is worth further investigations as a mean to recalibrate postural control mechanisms and potentially restore balance. Moreover, our results provide new perspectives on WBV applications, paving the way for future research on the interaction between the CNS and the peripheral muscles.Eleven females and six males volunteered in the study after giving written consent. History of neuromuscular or balance disorder and recent injuries to the lower limbs were the exclusion criteria.
A single-group, repeated-measure design was used and the data were collected at the Aston Laboratory for Immersive Virtual Environments. Electroencephalographic , COP and surface EMG signals of calf muscles were collected while participants underwent a balance task, performed before and after WBV mechanical stimulation.A familiarisation session was run for participants to get acquainted with the WBV device before the study began.
