Whole-body Vibration Physiotherapy in Kidney Transplantation

NCT02345577 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Kidney recipients loose significant amounts of muscle mass and skeleton minerals in the early post-transplantation period and suffer from increasing abnormalities of neuromuscular functions.

Stochastic whole body vibration (WBV) therapy is a relatively new form of movement physiotherapy that is used for strength training. Various clinical studies have shown that in addition to muscle function, WBV also improved body balance and bone mineral density. To study the impact of stochastic WBV physiotherapy on musculoskeletal parameters after renal transplantation, kidney transplant recipients will be enrolled and undergo WBV. The investigators hypothesize that WBV physiotherapy improves both maximum muscle strength and muscular performance
