Modulation of Synaptic Plasticity by Vibratory Training in Young and Old Mice

Brain Sciences, 2021
In the past 40 years, scientific research has shown how Whole Body Vibration concept represents a strong stimulus for the whole organism. Low (80 Hz) frequency vibrations can have both positive and negative effects, depending on the oscillation type and ...

Reducing the foot trajectory variabilities during walking through vibratory stimulation of the plantar surface of the foot

Scientific Reports, 2021
Variabilities or fluctuations in foot clearance are considered as a risk factor for falls during walking in older adults. The present study aimed to investigate whether the foot trajectory variability can be reduced by applying vibratory stimulation to ...

Effects of Stimulus Frequency and Location on Vibrotactile Discrimination Performance Using Voice Coil Actuators on the Forearm

Actuators, 2023
What are the effects of frequency variation of vibrotactile stimuli on localization acuity? The precise localization of vibrotactile stimuli is crucial for applications that are aimed at conveying vibrotactile information.

Evaluating the Optimum Distance between Voice Coil Actuators Using the Relative Point Localization Method on the Forearm

Actuators, 2022
While vibrotactile stimulation shows promise for sensory substitution devices, a crucial question concerns vibrotactile spatial resolution. We examined the optimum distance between three voice coil actuators (model: lofeltL5) on the forearm.

A Novel Water Method for Reducing Air Conduction in Soft Tissue Conduction. [PDF]

Audiol Res
Background: Bone vibrator (BV) stimulation applied to skin sites on the body elicits hearing by soft tissue conduction (STC). However, BV stimulation to sites far from the ear requires the delivery of higher-intensity stimulus vibrations to achieve ...

Dynamic reweighting of three modalities for sensor fusion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
We simultaneously perturbed visual, vestibular and proprioceptive modalities to understand how sensory feedback is re-weighted so that overall feedback remains suited to stabilizing upright stance.

Is the Focal Muscle Vibration an Effective Motor Conditioning Intervention? A Systematic Review

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2021
Mechanical vibration, applied to single or few muscles, can be a selective stimulus for muscle spindles, able to modify neuromuscular management, inducing short and long-term effects, are now mainly employed in clinic studies. Several studies reported as
