Overview

Randomized controlled trial improved knee function in patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries, suggesting benefits of whole-body vibration prehabilitation.

Key Points

  • The WBV intervention led to significant improvements in quadriceps strength and knee function post-ACLR.
  • Quadriceps maximal voluntary isometric contraction showed a p-value of 0.002, indicating strong treatment efficacy.
  • The randomized controlled trial assessed 44 participants, showing notable outcomes in knee function measured by the IKDC Score.
  • Inclusion of WBV in prehabilitation protocols may enhance patient recovery post-ACL reconstruction.
