Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have decreased strength, low bone mass, and an increased propensity to fracture. High frequency, low magnitude vibration might provide a non-invasive, non-pharmacological, home-based treatment for these musculoskeletal deficits. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of this intervention on bone and muscle in children with CP. Thirty-one children with CP ages 6-12 years (mean 9.4, SD 1.4) stood on a vibrating platform (30 Hz, 0.3 g peak acceleration) at home for 10 min/day for 6 months and on the floor without the platform for another 6 months. The order of vibration and standing was randomized, and outcomes were measured at 0, 6, and 12 months. The outcome measures included computed tomography measurements of vertebral cancellous bone density (CBD) and cross-sectional area, CBD of the proximal tibia, geometric properties of the tibial diaphysis, and dynamometer measurements of plantarflexor strength. Outcomes were assessed using mixed model linear regression and Pearson's correlation. The main difference between vibration and standing was greater increases in the cortical bone properties (cortical bone area and moments of inertia) during the vibration period (all p's ≤ 0.03). There was no difference in cancellous bone or muscle between vibration and standing (all p's > 0.10) and no correlation between compliance and outcome (all r's < 0.27; all p's > 0.15). The results did not depend on the order of treatment (p > 0.43) and was similar for children in GMFCS 1-2 and GMFCS 3-4. The primary benefit of the vibration intervention in children with CP was to cortical bone in the appendicular skeleton. Increased cortical bone area and structural (strength) properties could translate into a decreased risk of long bone fractures for some patients. More research is needed to corroborate these findings, to elucidate the mechanisms of the intervention, and to determine the most effective age and duration for the treatment.
