Study Details

Brief summary:

The purpose of this proposal is to understand how the Vibrant Health Ultimate whole-body vibration (WBV) machine affects pain and inflammation in older adults. The investigators' hypothesize that sub-acute (12 weeks) WBV will lead to improvement in the level of knee pain and improve vascular function via a decrease in systemic inflammation.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Whole Body Training (12 week)

Interventions

Sub Acute Whole Body Vibration Training

Participants will be given a personal vibration plate (equipped with stabilizing bars) to take home for training which will last for up 12 weeks. For this test the participant will be asked to stand on a vibration plate for up to 20 minutes. Participants will be instructed to remove any footwear and stand mid-center on the platform in a standing position with feet shoulder width apart. The participant will be asked to step on and off of the vibration plate. During the first four weeks, participants will be asked to complete 5-10 minutes of WBV per day, at least 4-5 days per week. At least 24 hours will be recommended in between sessions during weeks 1-4. Beginning at week 5, participants will be asked to increase WBV time to up to 15 minutes and/or reduce the duration of rest. Beginning at week 9, based on how the participant feels, the study team may adjust the WBV time/duration up to 20 minutes per session, 4-5 days per week.

Primary outcome measure

  • Change in Pain Pressure Threshold assessed using the Jtech Medical Echo Algometer [ Time Frame: pre-treatment baseline and following 12 weeks sub-acute whole-body vibration ]
