Abstract Background and Aims Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength with increased age. Increased activity following whole body vibration (WBV) has been reported in patients with chronic illness, but few studies reported the effect of WBV on the physical function of patients with acute illness. This study aimed to investigate the effects of WBV training using vibration platform with tilt table on muscle mass and physical performance in adults with sarcopenia. Methods Inclusion criteria were as follow : 1) age more than 70 years old 2) unable to independently ambulate due to long term hospitalized care 3) patient who was diagnosed as sarcopenia. Participants were randomly allocated into WBV group using side-alternating vibration platform with tilt table vs. conventional physical therapy. In WBV group, subjects lied down on tilt table at 60 degree with bare foot. Then, subjects stood on the platform board which could vibrate. Initial evaluation included muscle power, muscle mass, hand grip force, balance test using Leonardo mechanography, Berg balance scale (BBS), timed get up & go (TUG) test, gait speed and activities of daily living (ADL). Muscle power was evaluated using manual muscle test (MMT). In balance test using mechanography, as a center of path parameters, standard ellipse area (SEA), path length (PL) were evaluated. After 2 weeks, 2nd evaluation was conducted. Results A total of 15 were enrolled. There were no significant differences between two groups in demographic characteristics. At initial assessment, there were no significant differences in both groups except for SEA. After intervention, WBV group showed improvements in muscle mass, SEA, BBS, TUG, gait speed, ADL. However, there were no statistically significant differences in all outcomes at 2nd evaluation. Conclusion WBV training may improve muscle mass, ability of ambulation and ADL in hospitalized older adults with sarcopenia.

Vibration Therapy

Abstract Background Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of muscle mass and function with advancing age, is a prevalent condition among older adults. As most older people are too frail to do intensive exercise and vibration therapy has low risk and ease of participation, it may be more readily accepted by elderly individuals. However, it remains unclear whether vibration therapy would be effective among older adults with sarcopenia. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effect of vibration therapy including local vibration therapy and whole-body vibration therapy, for enhancing muscle mass, muscle strength and physical function in older people with sarcopenia. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in March 2019 in the following 5 electronic databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PEDro, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, with no restriction of language or the year of publication. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies examining effects of vibration therapy on muscle mass, muscle strength or physical function in older adults with sarcopenia were included in this systematic review. Two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality of the selected studies. Results Of the 1972 identified studies, seven publications from six studies involving 223 participants were included in this systematic review. Five of them conducted whole-body vibration therapy, while two conducted local vibration therapy. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies indicated that muscle strength significantly increased after whole-body vibration therapy (SMD 0.69, 95% CI 0.28 to 1.11, I2 = 0%, P = 0.001) and local vibration therapy (SMD 3.78, 95% CI 2.29 to 5.28, P < 0.001). Physical performance measured by the sit-to-stand test and the timed-up-and-go test were significantly improved after the intervention (SMD -0.79, 95% CI − 1.21 to − 0.37, I2 = 0%, P < 0.001) and SMD -0.83, 95% CI − 1.56 to − 0.11, I2 = 64%, P = 0.02, respectively). Conclusion Vibration therapy could be a prospective strategy for improving muscle strength and physical performance in older adults with sarcopenia. However, due to the limited number of the included studies, caution is needed when interpreting these results. More well-designed, large sample size studies should be conducted to further explore and validate the benefits of vibration therapy for this population.
