Introdução: A vibração corporal aplicada ao humano através da utilização de plataformas tem vindo a ser cada vez mais estudada e utilizada clinicamente em idosos. O presente estudo pretende verificar os efeitos agudos da vibração corporal na mobilidade e no equilíbrio em idosos.
Metodologia Foram estudados 20 indivíduos, divididos em dois grupos, o grupo experimental (exposto a uma sessão de vibração com 26 Hz com 5 series de 60 segundos e 60 segundos de repouso entre series) e o grupo de controlo sem vibração).
Resultados: Obtivemos diferenças significativas na mobilidade em ambos os grupos, no equilíbrio não se verificaram diferenças significativas. Conclusão: A vibração corporal é um meio eficaz para melhorar a mobilidade em idosos, embora não haja evidência conclusiva em comparação com o convencional treino de equilíbrio na fisioterapia.
Introduction: The vibration applied to the human body through use of platforms has been increasingly studied and used clinically in the elderly. The present study intends to investigate the acutes effects of body vibration on mobi lity and balance in the elderly. Methods: We studied 20 subjects, divided into two groups, the experimental group (exposed to a session of vibration at 26 Hz with 5 sets of 60 seconds and 60 seconds of rest between series) and the control group (without vi bration). Results: We obtained significant differences in mobility in both groups at balance there no significant differences. Conclusion: The body vibration is na effective means to improve mobility in the elderly, although there is no conclusive evidence in comparison with the conventional balance training in physiotherapy.
