Vibration therapy for young basketball players with joint looseness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if whole-body vibration (standing on a special platform that gently shakes) can improve balance, flexibility, and leg strength in young basketball players who have generalized joint hypermobility (extra-flexible joints). It aims to see if this safe, non-drug therapy can help with stability and performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Boys between 9 and 15 years old
- Currently playing basketball in a club and doing at least 2 training sessions per week
- Must have been diagnosed with generalized joint hypermobility (extra-flexible joints)
- Must not have any major health conditions like blood clots, joint diseases, recent injuries, chronic pain, epilepsy, or metal implants in the body

This study compares balance and physical performance in people with and without generalized joint hypermobility (loose joints), especially when doing two tasks at once. It will help understand how loose joints affect daily movement and safety.
This study tests if doing whole-body vibration exercises at home can help reduce knee pain from arthritis. You stand on a gently vibrating platform for short periods over several weeks.
This trial tests if whole-body vibration therapy can help reduce pain and improve function in adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome (a common cause of pain around or behind the kneecap). You stand on a gently vibrating platform to see if it strengthens muscles and eases discomfort.
This study tests whether standing on a gently vibrating platform (whole body vibration) can improve health in middle-aged men who are already active. It may help with muscle strength, balance, or other fitness measures.
This trial tests if gentle vibrations on knee muscles can improve how your brain senses knee movement, which may help you move better. It is for healthy adults who want to see if this non-invasive treatment boosts motor performance.
This trial tests whether whole body vibration therapy can help improve muscle health in older adults. You stand on a vibrating platform for a few minutes a few times a week, which may strengthen your muscles and reduce frailty.
