| Objective: To explore the effect of whole-body vibration training on lower limb muscle strength and mobility in elderly patients with sarcopenia. Methods: A total of 60 elderly patients with sarcopenia were selected and randomly divided into a control group of 30 cases and an observation group of 30 cases using a random number table method. The control group received routine rehabilitation training, while the observation group received whole-body vibration training on the basis of the control group. Interventions were given 5 times a week, with both groups receiving 12 weeks of intervention. The time of 5 sit ups, Berg balance scale scores, and changes in 6m walking speed were compared before and after intervention between two groups. Results: Compared with before treatment, the Berg balance scale score and 6m walking speed in both groups increased (P<0.05), and the time for 5 sit ups decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed a significant increase in the Berg balance scale score and 6m walking speed after treatment (P<0.05), and a significant reduction in the time required for 5 sit ups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Whole body vibration training has a significant improvement effect on lower limb muscle strength, balance, and mobility in elderly patients with sarcopenia, and can serve as an effective intervention measure for the prevention and treatment of elderly sarcopenia patients. |
