Summary

In this study, individuals aged 65 and over who applied to the physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic with any complaint will be evaluated in terms of geriatric syndromes. Patients identified as pre-frail will be randomized into the two exercise groups. Exercises of the first group will be performed on the whole body vibration platform and the second will be performed on a flat surface. Before and after the 6-weeks of exercise program; handgrip strength, anterior thigh muscle thickness, body composition, physical performance, mobility, physical activity, balance, kinesiophobia, mood, quality of life, sleep quality, fatigue will be evaluated in both groups. The aim of the study is to show the possible effects of whole body vibration. The results of the study may offer new treatment options that may help prevent the progression of frailty in pre-frail individuals and may guide similar studies.

Conditions

  • Pre-frail

Interventions

OTHER

Whole body vibration

All patients will be pedaling for 5 minutes, followed by a warm-up phase with 5 minutes of stretching for the hamstring, gastrocnemius, soleus, and quadriceps muscles. Afterward, the following exercise program on the vibration platform will be applied to the 1st group. * Lunge, * Squat, * Deep squat, * Wide stance squat, * Calves, * Deep calves. The exercise time will be 6 minutes in the first week, and the exercise time will be increased in the following weeks, and the total exercise time will continue at 18 minutes in the last week.

OTHER

The exercise program on flat ground without a vibration platform

All patients will be pedaling for 5 minutes, followed by a warm-up phase with 5 minutes of stretching for the hamstring, gastrocnemius, soleus, and quadriceps muscles. Afterward, the following exercise program will be applied to the group. The exercise program will be applied to the 2nd group (controls) on flat ground without a vibration platform. * Lunge, * Squat, * Deep squat, * Wide stance squat, * Calves, * Deep calves. The exercise time will be 6 minutes in the first week, and the exercise time will be increased in the following weeks, and the total exercise time will continue at 18 minutes in the last week.
