Postural Control, Balance, Muscle Tendon VibrationAbstract
After cerebrovascular accident (CVA), people have complex combinations of sensory, motor, cognitive and emotional deficits, which can affect static and dynamic balance. The aim of the study was to compile and summarize the main features and findings of protocols used in research that investigated the effects of muscle tendon vibration on static and dynamic balance in adults with stroke. This is a systematic review, registered in PROSPERO CRD42022303874, in which searches were performed in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane, Lilacs, SciELO, Medline, Science Direct and PEDro, during the month of January 2022, using the combination of keywords related to “stroke”, “balance”, “muscle tendon vibration”, “randomized controlled trial”. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro Scale. A total of 1,560 studies were identified, 11 of which were included, between the years 1994 to 2020, involving 242 post-stroke adults. Only 5 studies used vibration as an intervention and found that there is an improvement in static and dynamic balance. And 6 studies analyzed the interference of vibration on postural control, showed that balance was affected during the application of vibration and that individuals needed more time to recover or did not experience significant differences. It was found that the effects of muscle tendon vibration may be able to generate improvement in balance in people with stroke, and may influence postural control through proprioceptive mechanisms of vibration, but more studies of high methodological quality are needed for consensus regarding protocols and for recommendation in clinical practice.
