Treatment and study plan

Whole body vibration training

Other

Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT) method has been used as an alternative to conventional strengthening exercises. In this method, the patient stands on the platform of the WBVT device in a static position or performs dynamic exercises, the mechanical vibration produced by the device is transferred to the body

Other names: Standard Exercise

Primary outcomes

  1. Heart rate

    Time frame: "20 minute"

    Heart rate was evaluated from the brachial artery using a sphygmanometer.

  2. Blood pressure

    Time frame: "20 minute"

    Blood pressure was evaluated using a sphygmomanometer.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Fatigue

    Time frame: "20 minute"

    Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. Minimum score: 6 Maximum score: 20 The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale helps estimate activity intensity.

Other outcomes

  1. Change in Dyspnea

    Time frame: "20 minute"

    Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale Minimum score 0: breathing is causing no difficulty Maximum score 10: breathing difficulty is maximal
