Systems for Whole Body Vibration - current state of technology

Whole-Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT) is known as “biomechanical stimulation” or “biomechanical oscilation”. Application of WBVT in recreational or therapeutic framework is used in order to increase muscle strength and athletic performance. Despite the rich history of this therapy, the mechanisms underlying its efficiency and advantages remain unclear. To develop a new WBVT device intended to improve muscle and bone condition, a bibliographical research has been performed, in order to provide a comprehensive image of the technology used nowadays for WBVT and its therapeutic benefits.
