Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of 20 and 40 Hz of whole body vibration on the center of pressure sway in postmenopausal women
Design
A clinical trial, self control, in 20 postmenopausal women, in five different modes of vibration frequency and amplitude on the whole body vibration plate. The order of the modes is randomly selected by the independent people by the envelopes in the package.
Settings and conduct
Individuals will participate in the training program voluntarily by installing a public call. The place of study is the movement Disorders Lab of Physical therapy, Tarbiat Modares University. To apply the WBV, the Uniphy Elektromedizin GmbH Fit Vibe (Fitvib) vibrating device. The participants will be placed on the WBV plate barefoot with semi-squat and will have one of the following modes: Off vibration (control), 20 Hz and 2 mm, 20 Hz and 4 mm, 40 Hz and 2 mm, 40 Hz and 4 mm. Except for the base position, which is the control, others will be randomly applied. Before and immediately after each of the above modes, the center of pressure sway will be recorded with Kessler force plate and Mars software. Each mode is composed of two 30-second intervals with a 10-second break between them. During vibration, the transmission of the acceleration (transmissibility) is measured at the level of the lower limb joints (Hip, Knee, and Ankle joints).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: At least one year after menopause - Ability to walk independently without aids - ٍExclusion criteria: Osteoporosis - Balance disturbance and fall history - Patient discomfort while working with whole body vibration
Intervention groups
A group of postmenopausal women who receive whole body vibration with frequency of 20 and 40 HZ
Main outcome variables
Transmissibility in hip, knee, ankle COP displacement COP velocity path length
