- Brief Summary
This study investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) on gait initiation in patients with Parkinson's disease by randomized crossover trial. There was significant improvement in timed up and go test and anticipatory postural adjustment in gait initiation after WBV specifically in patients with severe freezing. These results suggested that WBV had immediate effects on gait initiation in parkinsonian patients with severe freezing of gait.
