First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding whole-body vibration training to standard physical therapy helps people recovering from deep second-degree burns on their legs. Sixty adults aged 20 to 50 took part. They did standard exercises plus vibration sessions three times a week for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if it improved hamstring flexibility, muscle activity, and quality of life.

- Active substance
- whole-body vibration training on a vibration platform
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve flexibility and quality of life after burn injuries.
