Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is increasingly threatening the elderly survival quality and life. Numerous studies have shown that the vibration training is a new method to improve osteoporosis.
OBJECTIVE: To overview the effect of vibration training on the skeletal system, and provide a new idea for osteoporosis prevention.
METHODS: The first author searched the PubMed and CNKI databases using the following format: (Vibration training [Title]) OR (Vibration mode [Title]) OR (Vibration pattern [Title]) and (“Vibration training” [Title]) or (“Vibration mode”[Title]) in English and Chinese, respectively, in April 2015. Finally, 38 eligible articles were included according to their titles and abstracts.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bases on overseas and domestic researches about the effect of whole body vibration on the skeletal system, we summarize the mechanical load, vibration stress principles and outcomes of whole body vibration training as well as factors involvied in osteoporosis such as the stimulation site, stimulation type, exercise load, exercise duration and vibration frequency. In addition, the safety of vibration training and its preceding studies are also generalized. These results suggest that elderly osteoporosis can be improved through the vibratory equipment. We can improve bone loss and living quality of the elderly by vibration at different frequencies and duration thresholds vibration at using the vibratory equipment.
