Whole-body vibration has been used to improve motor function in chronic stroke patients, but its effect on patients with subacute strokes remains unclear.
We explored the effect of whole-body vibration on patients with subacute strokes.
Participants were randomly allocated to a whole-body vibration (WBV) group ( = 30) or an upper- and lower-cycle (ULC) group ( = 30). Both groups received occupational therapy after these interventions. All participants received treatment for 30 min/day, 5 days/week, for 4 weeks. Both groups received the same conventional physical therapy.
The manual function test (MFT) score and grip strength improved after both WBV ( = 0.001 and = 0.001, respectively) and ULC ( = 0.002 and = 0.001, respectively), but the improvement was more pronounced (MFT = 0.016; GS = 0.023) after WBV.
These findings suggest that the use of WBV and ULC was effective as remedial treatments for improving upper extremity motor function and increasing grip strength for patients with subacute strokes. The improvement was more pronounced for the WBV treatment. This trial is registered with KCT0003246.
全身振动已被用于改善慢性中风患者的运动功能，但其对亚急性中风患者的影响仍不明确。
我们探讨了全身振动对亚急性中风患者的影响。
参与者被随机分配到全身振动（WBV）组（n = 30）或上下循环（ULC）组（n = 30）。两组在这些干预措施后均接受职业治疗。所有参与者每天接受30分钟治疗，每周5天，共4周。两组接受相同的传统物理治疗。
全身振动（分别为p = 0.001和p = 0.001）和上下循环（分别为p = 0.002和p = 0.001）后，手动功能测试（MFT）评分和握力均有所改善，但全身振动后改善更为明显（MFT p = 0.016；GS p = 0.023）。
这些发现表明，全身振动和上下循环作为补救治疗对改善亚急性中风患者的上肢运动功能和增加握力是有效的。全身振动治疗的改善更为明显。该试验已在KCT0003246注册。
