Purpose : This study focuses on the influence of bridge exercise combined with whole body vibration on muscle activity and balance.
Method : 30 stroke patients were recruited for subjects. The subjects were divided to bridge exercise combined stable surface(GroupⅠ), bridge exercise combined stable surface(GroupⅡ), and bridge exercise combined bridge exercise(GroupⅢ), of which 10 subjects were randomly allocated. The subjects were given 30 minutes of neurologic physical therapy which included gait training and muscular strength training, and additionally given 30 minutes of bridge exercise combined stable surface, bridge exercise combined unstable surface, and bridge exercise combined whole body vibration for each group, five times a week, for 8 weeks. Their muscle activity and balance were analyzed before the intervention. After 8 weeks of the intervention, the mentioned parameters were measured once more for between-group analysis.
Result : Comparative analysis of the muscle activity and balance between the groups showed statistically significant difference, and post-hoc analysis showed the GroupⅢ had greater changes in muscle activity and balance than GroupⅠand GroupⅡ.
Conclusion : Such results revealed that bridge exercise combined with whole body vibration is effective in muscle activity and balance. Based on the current study, more effective program is to be proposed for elite athletes as well as stroke patients. Based on the current study, studies that incorporates various frequencies of vibration is required for development of effective whole body vibration exercise program.
