Abstract

|
Objectives: The central nervous system (CNS) diseases cause serious damage to motor and sensory functions. The individuals with CNS disease have great limitations in activities of daily living and social participation. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of vibratory stimulation on physical function recovery in individuals with CNS disease.
Method: Data were collected through data search engines such as PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE from 2005 to 2017. The PEDro scale was used to assess the quality of study. The sample size, mean and standard deviation in the studies were analyzed by meta-analysis.
Results: Ten studies were selected for analysis and all studies had PEDro score of 6 points or more. Three hundred fourteen participants were included. The outcome data were categorized as physical functions focused on community participation such as “balance function” and “upper & lower function and gait function.” The effect sizes of the selected studies were statistically insignificant in heterogeneity. The effect sizes of combined outcomes and “upper & lower function and gait function” were 0.356 and 0.421 as indicated by a “medium effect size” and the effect size of “balance function” was 0.223 as indicated by a “small effect size.”
Conclusions: We found that vibratory stimulation has the advantage of enhancing physical function in CNS rehabilitation field. However, there was no superior effect than other types of intervention.
