Abstract
The whole body vibration improves functional balance in patients who have suffered a stroke. Although these improvements are similar to those found in isometric exercise when not complemented with vibration, it seems that the vibrations could induce greater benefits in certain assessments of balance. Isometric work in semi-squat position improves balance function in patients who have suffered a stroke. The application of whole-body vibration during isometric work this could be beneficial in some evaluations of balance. Patients with left-sided hemiparesis seem to benefit more from balance rehabilitation programs.
