Can muscle vibration help when you are less active?
This study tests whether gentle muscle vibration can help prevent muscle and bone loss when you reduce your activity. You will have one leg vibrated for a short time each day to see if it keeps your muscles strong.

This study tests whether a short, gentle vibration applied to your leg muscles can improve how your nerves and muscles work together. It might help find a simple, low-effort way to keep muscles healthy.
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
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 whether applying gentle vibrations to your leg muscles during cycling can boost power and muscle activity. You will do a series of cycling tests while the vibration is on or off.
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.
This study tests if a precise vibration device can improve muscle function and mobility in older adults with frailty and stroke survivors. It may help reduce knee pain and enhance rehabilitation outcomes.
