Effect of Vibration on Muscle Properties, Physical Activity and Balance in Children With Cerebral Palsy
April 20, 2023 updated by: Christopher Modlesky, University of Georgia
The aim of the 6-month randomized controlled trial, with 6-month no treatment follow-up, is to examine the effects of low-magnitude vibration on muscle, physical activity, and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a movement disorder that affects over 800,000 people in the U.S. Due to the limited mobility associated with the disorder, individuals with CP have an increased risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis, compared to the general population.
Therefore, identifying treatment strategies is of utmost importance.
The aim of this study is to examine the acute and chronic effects of low-magnitude vibration on muscle, physical activity, and balance in children with CP.
Fat concentration and muscle will be assessed using imaging techniques.
Physical activity will be assessed using activity monitors.
Balance will be assessed using clinical and biomechanical tests.
Children with CP will be tested at five time points: baseline, 1 and 6 months after standing on a vibration platform daily 10 minutes per day, 1 and 6 months post treatment (7 months and 12 months from baseline, respectively).
The findings from the proposed study will help us determine if vibration shows promise as a treatment for the impaired mobility, lower physical activity and higher risk of chronic disease in individuals with CP.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Vibration Platform
The vibration group will stand on a platform that emits a mild vibration 10 minutes per day for 6 months.
There will also be a 6 month no-treatment period.
|
The vibration platform will emit a mild vibration when the participant stands on it 10 minutes per day for 6 months.
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Platform
The placebo group will stand on a placebo platform 10 minutes per day for 6 months.
There will also be a 6 month no-treatment period.
|
The placebo platform will not vibrate when the participant stands on it 10 minutes per day for 6 months.
