Aims. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of an 8-week Whole Body Vibration (WBV) training on the Peripheral Vibration Sensitivity Threshold (PVST) in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM).
Settings and Design. A double-blind randomized controlled study (ISRCTN16866781).
Methods and Material. A total of 76 people with DM type 2 are included in the statistical analysis, 39 patients in the WBV group and 37 patients in the placebo group. Both groups were given 8 weeks of WBV training, 3 sessions per week, for a total of 24 sessions of WBV and placebo. The PVST was assessed through the Biotensiometer Vibratron II before the intervention and after the 8 weeks of training.
Statistical analysis used. To check that the groups were comparable at the baseline in terms of participant characteristics, a T-test for independent samples was performed. To determine whether the WBV intervention had had an effect on the PVST, an ANCOVA was performed, using the initial level of the PVST as a covariate. Statistical significance was established at P <.05.
Results. The WBV group and the placebo group were comparable at baseline on all variables included for sample characterization. The WBV training had no statistically significant effect on the PVST.
Conclusions. After 8 weeks of Whole Body Vibration training there was no effect on the Peripheral Vibration Sensitivity Threshold.
