Interventions

OTHERSub Acute Whole Body Vibration Training

Participants will be given a personal vibration plate to take home with them for training which will last for 12 weeks. For the first four weeks, participants will be asked to complete 10 minutes of WBV per day (1 minute on and up to 1 minute of rest), at least 3-4 days per week. At least 24 hours will be recommended in between sessions during weeks 1-4. Beginning at week 5, participants will be asked to increase WBV time to up to 14 minutes and/or reduce the duration of rest. Beginning at week 9, participants will be asked to increase WBV time to up to 20 minutes and/or reduce the duration of rest.
