Resumen: |
Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 6-week ‘‘usual care’’ exercise program supplemented with
whole-body vibration (WBV) to improve balance and strength in women with fibromyalgia (FM).
Design: This was a randomized controlled study.
Settings: The setting was a physical therapy department in an academic setting.
Subjects: The subjects were 30 postmenopausal women with FM (age: 59 – 7.90 years).
Interventions: Subjects were randomized into one of two groups: an experimental group (EG: n = 15), which
combined exercise training (2 days a week) with 3 days of WBV, and a control group (CG: n = 15), who
performed the same exercise training program (2 days a week) but without WBV.
Outcome measures: Balance and muscle strength were measured at baseline and after the 6-week intervention.
Results: Significant differences were found ( p < 0.05) between the study groups for the Medio–Lateral Stability
Index (MLSI), when patients were assessed with their eyes open and ... [Ver más] |
