Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

whole body vibration

On a vibration platform, the children went into a complete squat. The device was calibrated at a frequency of 30 Hz, an amplitude of 2 mm, and a duration of 5 minutes. After the vibration was turned on, the children were told to stay in the squatting position and to report any discomfort that could occur. The vibration automatically shut off after five minutes. The children then rested for a minute. Next, under the identical conditions as for the squatting position, they were instructed to stand on the vibration platform for five minutes with the therapist\'s assistance. Consequently, WBV was applied for a total of 10 minutes during each session.
