Summary

Whole body periodic acceleration (WBPA) is a head-to-toe movement. The function WBPA works as adding pulses to the circulation. This motion increases shear stress to the endothelium, which stimulates increased release of endothelial-derived nitric oxide (eNO), prostaglandin E-2, tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) into the circulation, and these substances are cardioprotective and contribute to vasodilatation. The WBPA were not well studied than whole body vibration (WBV), a vertical rocking training machine, and most researches focused on cardioprotective effects. A study revealed the effect of Moderate-Intensity Exercise and Whole-Body Periodic Acceleration on Nitric Oxide release was the same. This instrument is quite safe and was applied to patients with varied diseases in previous study. No sound contraindication was mentioned till now.

Our hypothesis is assuming that the circulation of brain could improve after the intervention of WBPA, and stroke recovery and cadio-pulmonary function will improve subsequently.
