Vibration study reveals how standing on one foot changes reflex timing
NCT ID NCT07170709
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how different standing positions affect muscle reflexes during whole-body vibration in 36 healthy adults aged 18-40. Participants stood on one or both feet on a vibrating platform while sensors measured muscle responses. The goal was to understand how mechanical load changes reflex timing, which could help improve vibration-based rehabilitation exercises.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Whole-body vibration (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help design better vibration-based therapies for muscle and bone rehabilitation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to people with medical conditions. It explores basic mechanisms, not a treatment.
