简要总结
Falls represent a significant financial burden, costing millions of dollars annually in Switzerland (SUVA, 2022). Good cognitive abilities and good balance represent modifiable protective factors against falls (Kurz, 2008). The present study investigates the impact of stochastic whole-body vibration training (SR-WBV) on executive functions and balance. To this end, participants were randomized into an intervention group or a control group. Participants in the intervention group underwent SR-WBV at a frequency of 5 Hertz (Hz), while participants in the control group underwent SR-WBV at 2 Hz. The training on an SRT Zeptor® Medical plus noise device consisted of three one-minute intervals of vibration, interspersed with one-minute rest periods. Data on executive functions (Updating, Shifting, Inhibition) and balance were collected before and after the intervention , complemented by subjective assessments of concentration and balance through questionnaires.

结局指标
主要结局
Sense of Balance (Change from Baseline)
时间窗: 19 min before and 19 min after the intervention (immediate effects)
Measured with subjective scale (sense of balance from 0 to 10) How do you assess your personal sensations regarding muscles and joints (back pain, shoulder and neck pain, leg muscle pain, etc.) at this moment? Please slide the scale for each aspect to the most appropriate level. 0 means no pain, and 10 means the most intense pain imaginable.
Balance (Change from Baseline)
时间窗: Immediately before and 13 min after the intervention (immediate effects)
Measured with the modified star excursion balance test (m-SEBT). Higher values indicate better balance with 0cm being the minimum and ca. 100cm indicating very good balance, i.e. reach distance. In this balance test, participants stand on one leg, while the range of motion of the other leg is measured in eight directions: anterior (ANT), posteromedial (PM), and posterolateral (PL). (Duration: 5 min)
次要结局
- Executive functions (Shifting) (Change from Baseline)(10 min before and 8 min after the intervention (immediate effects))
- Executive functions (Updating) (Change from Baseline)(18 min before and immediately after the intervention (immediate effects))
- Executive functions (Inhibition) (Change from Baseline)(7 min before and 11 min after the intervention (immediate effects))
