First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding whole-body vibration training to standard physical therapy helps children aged 10-16 recover from severe burns on their legs and trunk. 60 children participated, half receiving vibration therapy plus exercise, and half receiving exercise alone. The goal was to see if vibration could improve balance and stability after burn injuries.
