Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Whole body vibration (WBV)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants assigned to the WBV group will participate in twice daily 10-minute WBV training sessions, 7 days a week. Each WBV session will consist of a series of timed stands on the vibration platform (Marodyne LiV). During a timed stand, participants will perform slow controlled weight shifting exercises and gentle squats. The vibration frequency will be set at 30Hz and the amplitude set at 50-200 microns, for a total body acceleration of 0.4g+/-20%.
Group II: Usual Care (UC)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants randomly assigned to the UC group will serve as controls and will be tested at the same time points as the WBV group. The UC group will be asked not to change their physical activity or dietary habits across the intervention period and we will track any changes using a questionnaire.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the primary goal of this clinical investigation?

"This medical study, which will be monitored up to 3 months, aims to determine the accrual rate. Secondary objectives include an evaluation of chronic pain levels with a Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), lean body mass by dual X-ray absorptiometry scans, and fat mass also via DXA scanning."
