Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration stimulation on proprioceptionand tactile in patients with spastic cerebral palsy.
Methods: This study was conducted on 9 children diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. Of the single case study methods,the ABAB design was employed in this study. Out of a 12-week study period, three weeks were allocated to eachof two baseline periods and two intervention periods. The exercise was performed twice a week for 30 minutes. A generaltrunk stabilization exercise was performed during the baseline period and a trunk stabilization exercise accompanied withwhole-body vibration was performed during the intervention period. Evaluation was performed five times in total: beforethe experiment, after baseline 1, after intervention 1, after baseline 2, and after intervention 2. To determine the effectof the exercise method, a skin sensory evaluation tool (monofilament kit) and a trunk proprioception sensor (digital dualinclinometer) were used. To compare the effects of the exercises at baseline and after intervention, an analysis of varianceon repeated measures (repeated ANOVA) was performed to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that there were statistically significant increases from baseline in the means of proprioceptionand tactile during the intervention period with whole-body vibration (p <.05).
Conclusion: Whole-body vibration can be proposed as an effective intervention method for improving the proprioceptionand tactile in children with spastic cerebral palsy, and this exercise method is expected to be actively used in clinicalpractice.
