Physio after coronary bypass using a vibration machine

[bardu28]

I dont recommend any vibration or percussion after...I recommend ACBT and assistive Autogenic drainage which physiotherapist support chest to decrease pain on chest or breathing..

hi, using mechanical vibration has evidence ,by its effect on expectoration.

[bardu28]

yes mechanical vibration has effect on expectoration but it is more usefull on Cystic fibrosis, bronchectasis or any other lung diseases which have less problem when u apply mechanical vibration.
so we prefer using other physiotherapy technics which are not uncomfortable to patients.

Vibrational training will indeed have some interesting applications, however, I suspect that will be in specific populations. For the normal healthy individual, perhaps less so. Please post results here, as case studies can be quite revealing.

Here are some references:
Scan J Med Sci & Sports 17: 12-17, 2007
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise ; 38; 1317-1328, 2006.

The findings of a report published in a recent issue of the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (18;777, 2004), has shown that performing squats on a vibrating platform provided better improvements in the vertical jump test (a good indication of explosive power). Another study published in the same journal demonstrated that bodybuilders who performed dumbbell curls while standing on the vibrating platform recruited more fast-twitch muscle fibers.

As far as the theory goes, the platform emits high frequency vibrations that “shake” your muscles. This triggers stretch reflexes in muscle fibers that initiate more contractions within the myofiber network. Therefore, performing some exercises on the platform in combination with regular training may provide better gains that standard training alone.

~ Will need to stay on the look out for specific rehabilitative applications of Vibration Training. Thanks for the contributions.

Vibrational training may be having affects but how come it proves that it is good for lung clearance , it sounds very illogical .
