Does the Addition of Whole-Body Vibration Training Improve Postural Stability and Lower Limb Strength During Rehabilitation Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis.

Objectives: To investigate whether the addition of whole-body vibration therapy to standard rehabilitation improves postural stability and lower limb strength following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Data Sources: A computer-based literature search of MEDLINE, AMED, SPORTDiscus, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) included studies up to October 2019.

Main Results: Seven randomised controlled trials of moderate-to-high methodological quality involving 244 participants were included.
