The effect of low-magnitude whole body vibration on bone density and microstructure in men and women with chronic motor complete paraplegia

Abstract

We were unable to identify an improvement in either bone density or microstructure following 6 months use of a low-magnitude vibration plate in women or men with chronic motor complete paraplegia. Longer duration of use may be necessary, or it is possible that this intervention is of limited benefit following chronic spinal cord injury.
