Abstract

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of local vibration on knee joints on ability of postural control. Methods : The subjects(50) were divided into control group(25) and vibration group(25). Vibration group was given vibration on knee joint for 10 minutes and control group was given resting for 10 minutes. All subjects of each group were tested on MFT balance tester board for 30 seconds and MFT Balance Test English 1.7 was used to measure ability of postural control pre and post test. Results : 1. Laterality didn't have statistically significant difference pre and post test in both groups(p<0.05). 2. In the control group Body stability didn't have significant difference pre and post test(p>0.05), but had significant difference in the vibration group(p<0.05). 3. At assessment Movement of COG, sector2 in the control group and sector 1, 5 in the experimental group had significant difference pre and post test(p<0.05). Conclusion : From this result vibration on knee have an effect on Body stability. Therefore, the vibration will be effective in treatment of patients who have disability of postural control.
