Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effects of automatic massage and low-frequency mechanical vibrations on heart stroke volume and blood pressure in patients.
- Patients experienced significant increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressures after exposure to 12 Hz vibrations, with men showing larger increases than women.
- The findings suggest that periodic low-frequency vibrations enhance stroke volume, indicating a positive impact on heart function post-massage.
Background: Previous studies demonstrated a health improving effect in patients underwent an automatic vibratory massage taking 10 minutes. One of reasons that may explain a healing effect of the automatic massage is a stimulated increase in both blood circulation through vascular system and effective size of blood vessels.
Objective: This paper aims to quantify a contribution of the automatic mechanical massage of lower extremities into the observed reduction in arterial blood pressure and explain this effect.
