Whole-body vibration exercises benefit individuals with knee osteoarthritis: a narrative review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.12957/rhupe.2018.39292Abstract
Introduction: Osteoarthritis is a rheumatic disease and may
be related to aging. The main joints affected are those that
normally receive more stress over the years, such as the knees.
Among the recommended non-pharmacological treatments
for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the practice
of exercises. Studies have suggested whole body vibration
exercise (WBVE) as a non-pharmacological intervention for
KOA individuals. Materials and methods: This review gathered
studies involving WBVE and KOA individuals to verify
the importance of this intervention to the management of
KOA. Nine works were selected. Results: The protocols of all
studies were analysed and the findings about the benefits of
WBVE in KOA individuals have been fairly consistent. It was
observed that, in general, these analysed papers reported a
reduction of pain levels and an increase in functionality on
the KOA individuals. Conclusion: WBVE can be used as a safe,
feasible, effective, and inexpensive tool in the rehabilitation
of KOA individuals.
