Effects of Whole-Body Vibration With Foot Core Exercises: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Combined With Foot Core Exercise Training on Muscle Strength, Balance, and Proprioception in Overweight and Obese Young Adults: A Randomized Controlled Single-Blind Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized, single-blind clinical trial investigates whether adding whole-body vibration (WBV) to a supervised foot core exercise program improves ankle muscle strength, balance, and proprioception in overweight and obese young adults (BMI 25.0-39.9 kg/m²). Participants attended 24 face-to-face sessions over 8 weeks (3×/week) under physiotherapist supervision. Outcomes included isometric inversion/eversion strength (hand-held dynamometry) and instrumented balance/proprioception tests (Limits of Stability, mCTSIB, single-leg balance, single-leg proprioception) recorded by a computerized balance analysis system.
