|
| This study conducted over a period of 12 weeks, with 3 workouts per week, shows that the vibrations of the Power Plate® will not affect bone resorption but at the same time allow new bone formation. | |

|
| This study leads to the conclusion that a Power Plate ® program for 24 weeks to postmenopausal women and healthy, can be applied to modify muscle strength, balance and bone density of the hip. These three factors are known risk factors for hip fracture. These findings suggest that the Driving Power Plate® can have a potential impact on osteoporosis by increasing bone density, it can also be an effective way to address the risk factors for falls and fractures in women age advanced. | |

|
| The results of this pilot study indicate that whole-body vibration with the Power-Plate may positively influence postural control, balance, mobility, strength, and endurance in Multiple Sclerosis patients. | |

|
| This study shows that 12 months of training on the Power Plate® for older individuals can decrease the frequency of falls, particularly in difficult conditions (eyes closed on a mobile platform). | |

|
| This study shows that six months of training on static Power Plate® are feasible among nursing home residents with limited mobility, and beneficial to their stability and mobility. | |

|
| This 12-month study determined that adding vertical vibration to a fall prevention program can improve muscle strength of elderly living alone exposed to this kind of risk. The improvement in the test group is facing a significant group who did not use Power Plate. | |

|
| This study with 12 months of training on the Power Plate®, in individuals aged male shows increased strength and muscle mass in the upper legs. The Power Plate can have an effect in the fight against age-related process that significantly reduces skeletal muscle mass, called sarcopenia, and considered by public health as one of the major problems in the elderly. Thus, it would be possible to reduce the risk of many age-related symptoms and even prevent their occurrence (osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, resistance insulinaire, arthritis). | |
| Janneke Keldermann Power Plate - a new application in physical therapy Groningen, October 2001 |
|
| The results of this study show that using the Power Plate® in rehabilitation provides faster results and more important than traditional therapy.
For the same duration of therapy, increased muscle power is more important if one combines static exercises Vibration Power Plate®. The goal is reached more quickly, and the rehabilitation time is reduced.
The Driving Power Plate® does not cause additional stress on the back and shoulders. All pain disappears quickly. |

|
| The results of this study suggest that both lumbar extension and whole-body vibration exercise can relieve pain and improve pain-related limitation in everyday life for patients with chronic lower back pain. | |

|
| This study emphasizes that the addition of vibration Power Plate® exercises static and dynamic breakdown appears to increase significantly in overweight women. | |
| Lohman, E., Petrofsky, J., Maloney-Hinds C, Betts-Schwab H,. Thorpe, D The effect of whole body vibration on lower extremity skin blood flow Medical Science Monitor, 13 (2): CR71-76, 2007 |
|
| This study concerns the effect of Power Plate® on blood flow. The results show that short exposures to vibration passive exercises (massage) improve blood flow to the skin will remain higher than normal during the ten minutes of exposure. On the contrary, during the course exercises using a higher frequency, blood flow decreases significantly. | |
