在13例中风患者中研究了一种向四肢提供功能性振动刺激的新装置的实用性。我们假设振动刺激偏瘫下肢会增加这些患者的步态速度。该装置由一个电池、两个小型振动器和一根连接线组成。用绷带将小振动器固定在胫前肌和臀中肌上。分析了功能性振动刺激对偏瘫下肢步态速度的影响，结果表明：功能性振动刺激时，偏瘫下肢的步态速度明显高于无刺激时。这些结果表明，新的功能性振动刺激装置是有用的治疗中风患者。
The utility of a new device that delivers functional vibratory stimulation to the extremities was studied in 13 patients with stroke. We hypothesized that vibratory stimulation of the hemiplegic lower limb would increase gait speed in these patients. The device consisted of one battery, two small vibrators and a connecting wire. The small vibrators were stabilized on the anterior tibial muscle and gluteus medius muscle by a bandage. An analysis of the effects of functional vibratory stimulation on herniplegic lower limb on gait speed indicated that gait speed was greater during stimulation than without. These results suggest that the new device of functional vibratory stimulation is useful for treatment in patients with stroke.
