Vibrating platforms change reflex timing, small study finds
NCT ID NCT07253467
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at how standing on a vibrating platform affects spinal reflexes in 15 healthy adults. Participants stood in different positions with or without vibration while researchers measured electrical signals from a leg muscle. The goal was to understand how vibration changes reflex timing and strength. This was a basic science study, not a treatment trial.
