Shake it off: vibration therapy tested for Post-Surgery recovery
NCT ID NCT07602959
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether whole body vibration can improve muscle function, physical fitness, and breathing in people who have had bariatric surgery. Sixty adults who had surgery at least 6 weeks ago will be split into three groups: one does vibration exercises, one does resistance band exercises, and one just walks. All programs last 6 weeks. The goal is to see if vibration therapy offers extra benefits over standard recovery.
