Summary

This study tested whether using a low-intensity vibration platform for 10 minutes twice a day for 12 months could improve muscle function and reduce pain in 72 early-stage breast cancer survivors starting aromatase inhibitor therapy. Participants did not exercise regularly. The goal was to see if this simple, drug-free approach could help with common side effects like muscle weakness and joint stiffness.
