Neuromuscular response to a single session of whole-body vibration in children with cerebral palsy: A pilot study.

Background: Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a relative new intervention paradigm that could reduce spasticity and improve motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). We investigated neuromuscular response to a single session of side-alternating WBV with different amplitudes in children with CP.

Methods: Ten children with spastic CP aged 7-17 years at GMFCS level I-III participated in this pilot study.
