Acute effects of muscle vibration on elbow joint position sense in healthy young men: A randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study aimed to investigate and compare the acute effects of 2 local vibration frequencies (63 Hz vs 42 Hz frequencies) applied to the biceps brachii muscles on the elbow joint position sense (JPS) in healthy young men.

Methods

A 3-arm parallel-group design with randomization of participants was used. Forty-five healthy young men aged 19 to 30 years were randomly assigned to 3 groups: to receive 63 Hz (n = 15) in experimental group 1 (EG1) or 42 Hz (n = 15) in experimental group 2 (EG2) or sham vibration in the control group (n = 15). Participants in the EG1 and EG2 received 5 bouts of 1-minute vibration exposure to the biceps brachii muscle, with a 1-minute rest between the bouts. In control group, sham vibration was applied with the same duration and interval
