The Effects of WBV on Muscle Stiffness and Reflex Activity in Stroke.

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2017
Spastic hypertonia is common after stroke. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is known to have modulatory effects of muscle reflex activity and blood flow in other populations and thus have potential applications in the management of spastic hypertonia post-stroke. This study aims to investigate the acute effect of WBV on leg muscle H-reflex, stiffness, and blood perfusion in people with chronic stroke.
