Effect of Vibration Therapy on Hip Girdle Muscles in Healthy People

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Hip Dislocation
• Interventions: Device: whole-body vibration

• Registration Number: NCT05831904
• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Brief Summary

This clinical trial(prospective, pilot study) is to learn about the effect of whole-body vibration on hip girdle muscles in healthy children as a primary study aiming for a new clinical intervention protocol to prevent hip dislocation in patients with severe cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

Design: Prospective, pilot study Setting: hospital rehabilitation department Intervention: Participants will be asked to walk and jump with a surface electromyography(EMG) attached to their hip girdle muscles. After the participants are positioned(standing) on the platform of whole-body vibration device, the study practitioner will record the sEMG values from the hip girdle muscles during the vibration applied. The mean values of repeating the same process with different vibrations applications and the values before vibration will be compared by using the SPSS using the paired "t-test" or Wilcoxon signed rank test for comparison between before and after vibration in the same group.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
20 healthy children	whole-body vibration	20 healthy children aged 5 to 15 years , without any congenital or developmental abnormalities of their hip joint

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
muscle activation values on surface electromyography(sEMG)	10 seconds for each session	surface muscle contraction of bilateral hip girdle muscles; bilateral gluteus medius, tensor fascia lata, iliopsoas, rectus femoris muscles

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
VAS (Visual Analogue Scale)	10 seconds for each session	a psychometric scale that is generally used in pain scale surveys and this study participants will be asked to scale the uncomfortable feelings during the vibration
