Study summary

Purpose: To evaluate the short-term effects of whole-body vibration (WBV), using reciprocating plate technique, on manual ability performance in healthy younger.

Material and methods: 38 healthy young volunteers were randomized to WBV group (N=19; 6 men, 13 women; mean age 21, 3.8yrs) or control group (N=19; 6 men, 13 women; mean age 20.5, 3.5yrs). The subjects in the WBV group performed one series of five consecutive repetitions of 60 sec unsynchronised WBV (Zeptoring, Scisen GmbH, Germany; 4 Hz, amplitude 3mm) with a 1-min pause between administrations, three times a week. The controls did not receive any training. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and after intervention, in the Rey Juan Carlos University´s Gait Analysis Laboratory. Four outcome measures of Purdue Pegboard test (PPT): preferred hand (PH), non-preferred hand (NPH), both hands (BH) and assembly (A) was performed baseline and 5 min after intervention.

Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy subjects aged between 18 and 30 years.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  • for WBV: pregnancy, recent fractures, , kidney stones, cardiac pacemaker, infectious disease or recent thromboembolic.
  • Subjects with any musculoskeletal o neurological disorders that affected their hands.
  • Individuals already treated with WBV were excluded.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Whole body vibration

    The subjects in the WBV group performed one series of five consecutive repetitions of 60 sec unsynchronised multidimensional WBV (Zeptoring, Scisen GmbH, Germany; 4 Hz, amplitude 3mm) with a 1-min pause between administrations, three times a week. The construction of this device is designed to perform a nonharmonious generation of oscillating movements in vertical and horizontal planes in order to prevent occurrences of resonance and habituation of receptors. During the intervention, subjects wore thin-soled gymnastic-type shoes, carrying out in a squatting standing position, with slight flexion at the hips, knees and ankle joint, on the vibration platform.

    Device: Whole-body vibration (WBV)

  • No intervention
    Control

    The controls did not receive any training.

Interventions

  • DeviceWhole-body vibration (WBV)

    Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a novel neuromuscular therapeutic intervention that has recently been developed since in the mid-1960s. Hagbart and Eklund showed in human experiments that a reflex muscle contraction can result as a consequence of applying vibrations to the muscular-tendon system. The subjects stand on a platform that generates stochastic vibrations at a frequency between 1-12.5 Hz.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2017 to primary completion in Aug 2017, 1 month.

Of 206 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Body Weight, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 40. This study's 1 month is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 226 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 38.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 28, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
