Short vibration therapy for muscle function
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
This study tests whether doing mental practice of movements (motor imagery) combined with a gentle vibration on the tendon can make the mental practice more effective. It may help people recover movement after a brain injury, but for now the study is looking at healthy adults to explore how the technique works.
This trial tests if gentle vibrations can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in the lower leg after a neurologic condition like stroke or brain injury. You may join if you've had spasticity for at least 6 months and can stand with or without help.
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.
