Completed

• Conditions: Sarcopenia
• Interventions: Behavioral: the whole body vibration; Behavioral: resistance training

• Registration Number: NCT04637789
• Lead Sponsor: Yuxiang Liang

Brief Summary

Resistance training have been recommended for sarcopenic patients. However, the whole body vibration training would further benefit for sarcopenic patients on the basis of resistance training remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of the whole body vibration training on improving the mobility of elderly patients with sarcopenia.
