Abstract

Mechanical oscillations, or vibrations, are closely related to the idea of waves. Whole body vibration (WBV) has become a popular kind of exercise that can help with general health improvement. This training technique uses a vibrating platform to expose a person's entire body to low frequency, low amplitude mechanical stimuli. In accordance with the tonic vibration reflex, the vibration activates the muscle spindles, generating nerve impulses that cause the muscles to contract. In humans, whole body vibration has been shown to improve power, muscle strength, and bone mineral density. WBV has drawn a lot of interest lately due to its demonstrated capacity to enhance bone mineral density (BMD), muscle function, flexibility, balance, and mobility. This review's objective was to provide various WBV strategies that are frequently employed in the rehabilitation of children with impairments.
