Abstract:

Mechanical loading can modulate tissue plasticity and has potential applications in rehabilitation science and regenerative medicine. To safely and effectively introduce mechanical loads to human cells, tissues, and the entire body, we need to understand the optimal loading environment to promote growth and health. The purpose of this research was 1) to validate a limb vibration and compression system; 2) to determine the effect of limb vibration on neural excitability measured by sub-threshold TMS-conditioned H-reflexes and supra-threshold TMS; 3) to determine changes in center of pressure, m

Abstract:

The pain relieving efficacy of music listening combined with vibrotactile cutaneous stimulation was determined. Music with mechanical vibration (30min. session; average amplitude of 26μm; frequency range of 60-600Hz.) was applied to subjects with rheumatoid arthritis using the Music Vibration Table (MVT). Scores from pain relief visual analogue scales (VAS) and McGill Pain Questionnaires (MPQ) were compared to groups with music alone and placebo. ANOVA and post hoc analysis indicated that VAS scores from music with vibration were significantly greater than music alone or placebo. MPQ scores al

Abstract:

Modulation of lower limb somatosensory information can have a profound effect on postural orientation and balance control during both quiet and perturbed stance. Vibration is a powerful stimulus known to activate the muscle spindle Ia afferents as well as the cutaneous receptors and causes directionally specific, vibration-induced falling reactions. These reactions have been well-documented during quiet stance. However, little is known of the effects of manipulating, either separately or concurrently, somatosensory inputs arising from the muscle and plantar cutaneous receptor

Abstract:

Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a strong prognostic indicator of poor long-term survival (Norgren et al., 2007). A symptom of PAD is intermittent claudication which affects 5% of the adult population aged over 55 years (Fowkes et al., 2013). Intermittent claudication (IC) occurs during ambulation when the peripheral circulation is inadequate to meet the metabolic requirement of the active leg muscle, resulting in severe pain (Gardner et al., 2008). Consequently, patients suffering from IC find that the ambulatory dysfunction limits daily physical activity and negatively affe

Abstract:

In Australia, 3.8 million people are aged 65 or over; this age group is projected to grow to 8.7 million by 2056, making up 22 per cent of Australians (1). This rapid ‘ageing’ of the population is thanks to current advancements in medical technology and public health schemes (2). Although individuals can now expect to live into their sixties and beyond, ageing is associated with an accumulation of generalised impairments to health (3-5). Therefore, managing healthy ageing in older adults to improve their quality of life, mobility and nutrition is an important social and economic challenge in A

Currently there is no treatment available. Previously, SENS has shown promise to improve tactile sensitivity in healthy populations and elderly individuals with peripheral neuropathic desensitisation.

Abstract:

Bone fracture, particularly that occurring in osteoporotic conditions, has become a major health issue. Fracture healing is a well-orchestrated regenerative process, the enhancement of which has been one of the major goals in fracture management. Low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) is osteogenic for intact bone and beneficial for limb blood circulation, which implies a potential of enhancement for fracture healing. Three parts of the experiments were conducted in this study to test the hypothesis that LMHFV would accelerate fracture healing by promoting chondrogenesis, endochondral
