Summary

Introduction: Proprioception refers to the information's dynamic, sent to central nervous system by the free nerve endings and mechanoreceptors, about the biomechanics relationship for the joint tissue. The proprioceptive exercises show a big prophylactic action by musculoskeletal injuries. Among the top modalities of these exercises, it can be cited the Whole Body Vibration (WBV). Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the joint position sense, muscle electric activity and the postural sway in healthy individuals, before and after performing proprioceptive exercises on the vibrational platform or on a stable surface. Materials and Methods: 20 healthy young (24,85 + 4,27 years) were recruited, randomly divided into two groups, Control Group (GC) and Experimental Group (GE). Were realized evaluates of the proprioception by means of the joint position sense, the muscle electric activity of peroneus longus, gastrocnemius medialis, vastus medialis and gluteus medium, and the postural sway by means of the postural sway before and after one assistance consisting of 4 sets of 60s with unipodal standing position on soil (GC) or on vibrational platform (GE).
