Abstract
Randomised controlled trials dealing with the impact of WBV therapy on neuromuscular control after ACL reconstruction are scarce. To assess the effects of adding an early whole-body-vibration protocol at optimal frequency (WBV-OF), to a traditional rehabilitation programme (TRP), in comparison with a TRP, on maximal strength and balance, after ACL reconstruction. Thirty-four ACL reconstructed patients with hamstring-tendon graft underwent either 4 weeks of WBV-OF training in addition to a TRP, or to a TRP only, starting from the first month after surgery. Patients were assessed for maximal voluntary isometric strength during both knee extension and flexion and for balance on a force platform before, 1 month after treatment and at 3-month follow-up.
