Abstract:
Objective:To compare the effect of whole body vibration training with different frequencies on lower limb function of stroke patients. Method:A total of 60 stroke patients were randomly divided into 10Hz group(n=20),20Hz group(n=20)and 30Hz group(n=20).Three groups received routine rehabilitation training.In addition the 10Hz group re-ceived 10Hz whole-body vibration training,20Hz group received 20Hz whole-body vibration training and the 30Hz group received 30Hz whole-body vibration training.Before and after 4 weeks training,Fugl-Meyer assess-ment scale-lower extremity(FMA-LE),the Berg balance scale(BBS),timed up and go test(TUGT)and 10-me-ter maximum walking speed(10mMWS)were used to assess the lower limb function of patients. Result:After 4 weeks treatment,The results of FMA-LE,BBS,TUGT and 10mMWS assessment from three groups exhibited significant improvements compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).Moreover,the im-provements of FMA-LE,BBS,TUGT and 10mMWS assessment in the 30Hz group and the 20Hz group were significantly better than those in the 10Hz group(P＜0.05),and the improvements of various indexes in the 30Hz group were the most significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion:Three groups of whole body vibration training with different frequencies can improve lower limb function,balance and walking ability of stroke patients,and the effect of 30Hz whole body vibration training was the most obvious.
