Summary

We investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) and high-impact (HI) exercises in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density. In summary, WBV exercises are effective in preventing bone loss and WBV and HI exercise programs are effective in decreasing fall risk, increasing health-related quality of life and improving depressive symptoms

Conditions

  • Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal
  • Exercise Therapy

Interventions

DEVICE

Whole-body vibration exercise

The WBV training consisted of a high frequency (30-40 Hz) vibration stimulus at a low setting on a Power Plate pro5 vibration platform (Performance Health Systems, LLC, Northbrook, IL, USA).

OTHER

High-impact exercise

In the high-impact exercise program, the patients were asked to jump using a jump-rope at the beginning of each session
