Effect of Vibration Therapy on Hip Girdle Muscles in Healthy People

June 19, 2023 updated by: Ju Seok Ryu, Seoul National University Hospital
This clinical trial(prospective, pilot study) is to learn about the effect of whole-body vibration on hip girdle muscles in healthy children as a primary study aiming for a new clinical intervention protocol to prevent hip dislocation in patients with severe cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

Design: Prospective, pilot study Setting: hospital rehabilitation department Intervention: Participants will be asked to walk and jump with a surface electromyography(EMG) attached to their hip girdle muscles. After the participants are positioned(standing) on the platform of whole-body vibration device, the study practitioner will record the sEMG values from the hip girdle muscles during the vibration applied. The mean values of repeating the same process with different vibrations applications and the values before vibration will be compared by using the SPSS using the paired "t-test" or Wilcoxon signed rank test for comparison between before and after vibration in the same group.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 20 healthy children
20 healthy children aged 5 to 15 years , without any congenital or developmental abnormalities of their hip joint
Device: whole-body vibration
After attaching the surface electromyography(EMG) to bilateral hip girdle muscles, participants will walk and jump at their comfortable speed. After investigator record the muscle activation values, participants will be asked to stand on the vibration device. While the whole-body vibration is applied, the hip girdle muscles activation values will be recorded accordingly via sEMG.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
muscle activation values on surface electromyography(sEMG)
Time Frame: 10 seconds for each session

surface muscle contraction of bilateral hip girdle muscles

bilateral gluteus medius, tensor fascia lata, iliopsoas, rectus femoris muscles
10 seconds for each session

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
VAS (Visual Analogue Scale)
Time Frame: 10 seconds for each session
a psychometric scale that is generally used in pain scale surveys and this study participants will be asked to scale the uncomfortable feelings during the vibration
10 seconds for each session
