L3 Vibration

Question 1

Benefits of focal vibration

Answer 1

reduce muscle tone
decrease pain
increased blood flow
recover from DOMS flow
improve immediate ROM
recover from injury faster

Question 2

Lower frequency is…

Answer 2

inhibitory

Question 3

Higher frequency is…

Answer 3

excitatory

Question 4

Osteogenesis

Answer 4

vibration can help with mesenchymal stem cell recruitment to osteoblastic activity

Question 5

Precautions of vibration

Answer 5

anemia
clotting disorders
impaired sensation

Question 6

Acute effects of whole body vibration

Answer 6

short term performance (due to post activation potentiation), combine with dynamic

Question 7

Long term effects of whole body vibration

Answer 7

strength/power
adaptation of muscle spindles
stimulation of hormones

higher frequency, amplitude & longer duration is best

Question 8

Weak evidence whole body vibration for the following benefits:

Answer 8

proprioceptive
pain

Question 9

timing of vibration

Answer 9

prior to STM
before ROM exercise but no more than 2 min/area

Question 10

Focal vibration ultimately provides

Answer 10

acute effects

Question 11

PAP

Answer 11

acute excitation of the neuromuscular system

Question 12

Whole body vibration ultimately causes…

Answer 12

long term effects w/regular use
possible short term effects due to PAP
