Vibration therapy for thinking, balance, and quality of life in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether standing on a vibrating platform (called whole body vibration) can improve memory, thinking, balance, and quality of life in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. If you have mild memory or thinking problems, this therapy might help slow decline and keep you steadier on your feet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
