Threshold of Sensation in Vertical Whole Body Vibration

Transmission of vertical whole body vibration to the human body.

According to experimental studies, low-amplitude high-frequency vibration is anabolic to bone tissue, whereas in clinical trials, the bone effects have varied. Given the potential of whole body vibration in bone training, this study aimed at exploring the transmission of vertical sinusoidal vibration to the human body over a wide range of applicable amplitudes (from 0.05 to 3 mm) and frequencie...

Discomfort in Whole-body Vibration

A new methodology for objective evaluation of discomfort in whole-body vibration (WBV) is introduced in this work. The proposed objective discomfort characterizes discomfort based on the relative motion between adjacent segments of the human body from neutral positions. It peaks when the joints reach their limits. The objective discomfort has been tested on five subjects in the fore-aft directi...
