Acute Effects of a Week of Stochastic-Random Whole-Body Vibration on Manual Ability Performance in Healthy Subjects: A Preliminary Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate whether stochastic whole-body vibration (WBV) can improve dexterity and manipulative capacity in healthy individuals using a conventional squat position over a short period (1 week). Introduction: Many pathologies specifically affect fine motor dexterity. Numerous therapies are aimed at improving upper extremity functionality. In this context, WBV appears to represent a significant breakthrough in the field of rehabilitation. The mechanical vibration signals activate sensory receptors (muscle spindles), triggering reflex muscle activation like the tonic vibration reflex. The random mechanoreceptor stimulation maintains continuous brain activation, increasing corticospinal excitability. Methods: Thirty-eight healthy young volunte
