36 participants in 2 patient groups

Active Whole Body Vibration Training

Experimental group

Description:

Exercises were taught during the first session, active training was done in the second session, and acute evaluations were made during the third session. Both groups performed the dynamic exercises, under supervision, on the whole body vibration device with 10-second rest intervals. Throughout the WBVT session, the vibration amplitude was set to 2 mm and exercise frequency 30 Hz.

Treatment:

Other: Whole Body Vibration Training

Control Group

Active Comparator group

Description:

The same exercises as the aWBVT group were performed on the vibration platform, with the vibration application turned off

Treatment:

Other: Whole Body Vibration Training
