whole body vibration therapy
The study participants will receive the WBVT when standing still on a vibration platform independently or with own hand support on the platform rail. The vibration protocol is modified from the study by Gusso et al (2016). The WBVT training is of 20 Hertz, a peak-to-peak amplitude of 2 mm and peak acceleration of 15.79m/s or 1.61g. The sessions will be 18 minutes in length, 4 days per week for 4 weeks. The vibration frequency, duration and amplitude will be progressively increased over 2 weeks to the desired parameters.
