Effects of WBV Associated With IMT on Functionality

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Frail Elderly Syndrome
• Interventions: Other: WBVsham + IMTsham; Other: WBV + IMT; Other: WBV + IMTsham

• Registration Number: NCT03688932
• Lead Sponsor: Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

Brief Summary

The pre-frail elderly are a population more vulnerable to diminished functionality and future disabilities. Thus, interventions focused on the prevention of sarcopenia are indicated to prevent dysfunction in this population. This study aims to evaluate the effects of whole body vibration training associated with inspiratory muscle training on functional outcomes, balance and muscle metabolism in pre-frail elderly women.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
WBVsham + IMTsham	WBVsham + IMTsham	Whole body vibration training sham associated with respiratory muscle training sham (WBVsham + IMTsham)
WBV + IMT	WBV + IMT	Whole body vibration training associated with respiratory muscle training (WBV + IMT)
WBV + IMTsham	WBV + IMTsham	Whole body vibration training associated with respiratory muscle training sham (WBV + IMTsham)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Walking Distance	Change from Baseline walking distance at 3 months	The walking distance will be assessed through the six-minute walk test.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Balance	Change from Baseline balance at 3 months	Static balance and dynamic balance will be evaluated through the Tinetti test
Hand grip strength	Change from Baseline hand grip strength at 3 months	The strength of the dominant hand will be evaluated by dynamometry.
Muscle Metabolism	Change from Baseline muscle metabolism at 3 months	It will be assessed through the blood lactate and glucose rate after moderate physical activity.
Functionality	Change from Baseline functionality at 3 months	It will be evaluated through the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test.
