Whole Body Vibration and Hip Replacement
OSU Researchers to Shake-Up Hip Replacement Therapy 02-09-06 By Stephen Swanson, 541-737-0789 SOURCE: Gianni Maddalozzo, 541-737-6802 CORVALLIS, Ore. - Good vibrations may be the key for Oregon State University researchers seeking to aid hip replacement patients. To study the benefits of a whole body vibration exercise regime - similar to that used by astronauts and Olympians - OSU scientists will put volunteers through workouts on vibrating platforms designed to improve strength, flexibility and balance, said Gianni Maddalozzo, a researcher in OSU's College of Health and Human Sciences. Customized workouts will be created for volunteers ages 60-75 who have had partial hip replacement surgery in the past ...

Whole Body Vibration and Chiropractic Treatment
Increasing amount of interest is directed to whole body vibration technology as studies indicate promising results. Numerous findings include increase in muscle strength, enhancing balance and co-ordination, improved flexibility, increase in bone mass density therefore decreasing osteoporosis, stimulating the lymphatic system, massage effect on muscles and providing low joint impact. These findings should make every chiropractor excited to inquire further into this technology. The findings seem ideal to include with the chiropractic treatment. Research conducted on young female athletes has indicated benefits of whole-body vibration as a suitable training method to improve knee extension maximal strength, counter-movement jump, and flexibility (1). ...
Whole Body Vibration and Plantar Fasciitis
There have been many questions about foot pain and Plantar Fasciitis when using Whole Body Vibration. In general, Vibration Therapy will help stretch, massage and strengthen the muscles in the foot. The following is an explanation of Plantar Fasciitis, a common foot problem that is often helped with WBV. Under normal circumstances, your plantar fasciia acts like a shock-absorbing bowstring, supporting the arch in your foot. But, if tension on that bowstring becomes too great, it can create small tears in the fasciia. Repetitive stretching and tearing can cause the fasciia to become irritated or inflamed. Some causes of plantar fasciitis ...
Whole Body Vibration and Weight Loss
Calorie Loss is impossible to measure accurately in any activity because there are so many variables. In short...it has been calculated that a 10 min vibration session could yield approx 200-500 calorie loss. This could increase with intensifying the activity while on the machine. It has been calculated that 10 minutes on a Vibration Machine would be similar to approx a 6-10 km walk. Current Tools to Measure Calorie Loss Pedometers, pulse monitors, CO2 emission sensors, home gyms...none of which are very accurate... (only used for aerobic activity.) Variables There are labs that could attempt to calculate aerobic calorie ...
Madonna looks amazing thanks to vibrating plate
REBECCA CAMBER, Daily Mail - Last updated at 16:36pm on 18th July 2006 With her heavily muscled arms, you would be forgiven for thinking it is the result of a punishing exercise regime at the gym. But it seems the Queen of Pop's incredible shape is, in part, thanks to The Power Plate - dubbed the 'miracle' machine. And for those who have spent years trying to beat the wobble, the news is sure to send out good vibrations. The new exercise machine removes the need to actually work out. Manufacturers claim that the vibrating platform offers the same benefits of an hour-long sweaty gym ...
