Experimental Treatment
Group I: Healthy volunteers (iterative device development)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
This phase will recruit healthy volunteers who will be vibrated with the prototype device using various vibration frequencies to determine which frequency produces the optimal physiologic response. Physiologic responses will be determined with a number of devices capable of measuring such things as tissue oxygenation, oxygen consumption, and muscle activity. Volunteers will be randomized to receive alternating 5 minute episodes of various vibration frequencies.
