The use of surface electromyography (sEMG) to evaluate muscle activation when executing whole body vibration exercises (WBVE) in studies provide neuromuscular findings, in healthy and diseased populations. Objectives:Perform a systematic review of the effects of WBVE by sEMG of lower limbs in non-healthy populations.
The group of Herrero evaluated muscle activation during WBVE of FA patients. The protocol consisted of two familiarization sessions and one working session that comprised six bouts of 3 min WBVE treatments on a tilt-table.
