Abstract: Stable gait is the foundation for elderly people to maintain basic daily physical activities, and whole-body vibration training can help improve gait problems in the elderly.Whole body vibration training improves gait in the elderly through various mechanisms, including improving muscle strength decline and sarcopenia, improving osteoporosis, enhancing balance ability, enhancing posture control, and alleviating gait sequelae in chronic disease patients.This article explores the application effect of whole-body vibration training in improving gait in the elderly, providing ideas for clinical workers to use new exercise methods to promote physical health in the elderly.
