目的：本研究的目的是评估在深蹲训练中加入全身振动对膝关节骨关节炎（OA）老年患者的功能表现和疾病自我报告的影响。设计：这是一项前瞻性随机试验，在三个时期对选定的变量进行评估：训练前3周、训练前即刻和训练结束后。对23例老年受试者进行四项功能测试：贝格平衡量表（BBS）、定时起身行走测试（TGUG）、椅子站立测试（CST）、6分钟步行测试（6MWT）和疾病状态自我报告（WOMAC）。参与者被随机分为两组：（1）蹲下训练与全身振动，（2）蹲下训练无vibration.Results：虽然没有统计学差异的功能表现和自我报告的疾病状态组之间，性能在所有的功能测试，并在所有领域的WOMAC改善振动组相比，他们的初始状态。在运动组中，只有两项测试的表现有所改善（BBS和6MWT），并有减少自我报告的疼痛（WOMAC）相比，他们的初始状态。虽然在深蹲训练中加入全身振动并不能显著改善老年人的功能表现和自我报告的膝关节骨关节炎状况，组内研究结果表明，全身振动可能是一种可行的和有效的方式，改善功能和自我感知的疾病状态的老年人与膝关节骨性关节炎。
Objectives: The study objectives were to evaluate the effects of adding whole-body vibration to squat training on functional performance and self-report of disease in elderly individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA).Design: This was a prospective, randomized trial in which selected variables were evaluated at three periods: 3 weeks prior to the training, immediately prior, and after the end of the training.Subjects: Twenty-three (23) elderly subjects were evaluated using four functional performance tests: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Get Up and Go Test (TGUG), Chair Stand Test (CST), and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and a self-report of the status of disease (WOMAC).Interventions: The intervention lasted for 12 weeks, 3 times per week. The participants were randomized into two groups: (1) squat training with whole-body vibration, and (2) squat training without vibration.Results: Although there was no statistical difference in functional performance and self-report of disease status between the groups, performance in all the functional tests and in all the domains of WOMAC improved in the vibration group compared to their initial status. In the exercise group, performance improved only two tests (BBS and 6MWT), and there was a reduction in self-reported pain (WOMAC) compared to their initial status.Conclusions: Although the addition of whole-body vibration to squat training failed to result in a significant improvement in functional performance and self-reported status of knee osteoarthritis in the elderly, the intragroup results suggest that whole-body vibration may represent a feasible and effective way of improving the functionality and self-perception of disease status in older adults with knee OA.
