Summary

This randomized, single-blind clinical trial investigates whether adding whole-body vibration (WBV) to a supervised foot core exercise program improves ankle muscle strength, balance, and proprioception in overweight and obese young adults (BMI 25.0-39.9 kg/m²). Participants attended 24 face-to-face sessions over 8 weeks (3×/week) under physiotherapist supervision. Outcomes included isometric inversion/eversion strength (hand-held dynamometry) and instrumented balance/proprioception tests (Limits of Stability, mCTSIB, single-leg balance, single-leg proprioception) recorded by a computerized balance analysis system.

Conditions

  • Obesity & Overweight
  • Foot and Ankle Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Supervised Foot Core Exercise Training (No Vibration)

24 face-to-face sessions over 8 weeks; physiotherapist-led progression in repetitions/active time; performed on DKN Xg-10 Pro with vibration off.

DEVICE

Whole-Body Vibration via DKN Technology Xg-10 Pro

Tri-directional vibration delivered during exercises at 20-50 Hz with 15-60 s stimulus durations per set, progressing across sessions; administered concurrently with the foot core tasks under physiotherapist supervision (total 24 sessions).
