Low-intensity vibration restores nuclear YAP levels and acute YAP nuclear shuttling in mesenchymal stem cells subjected to simulated microgravity
Matthew Thompson, Kali Woods, Joshua Newberg, Julia Thom Oxford, Gunes UzerAstronauts lose bone and muscle in space, partly because their cells become less responsive to mechanical forces. This study investigated if low-intensity vibration (LIV) could help counteract this effect in a lab setti…

Whole-Body and Local Muscle Vibration Immediately Improve Quadriceps Function in Individuals With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Derek N Pamukoff, Brian Pietrosimone, Michael D Lewek, Eric D Ryan, Paul S Weinhold, Dustin R Lee, J Troy BlackburnThis randomized crossover trial investigated the immediate effects of vibration on quadriceps function in individuals with a prior anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Twenty participants performed isometric…

Low-intensity vibration improves angiogenesis and wound healing in diabetic mice
Eileen M Weinheimer-Haus, Stefan Judex, William J Ennis, Timothy J KohThis animal study investigated if whole-body low-intensity vibration (LIV) could improve chronic wound healing in diabetic mice. Mice with surgical wounds received either 30 minutes of daily vibration or a sham treatmen…

Squeeze film lubrication for non-Newtonian fluids with application to manual medicine
Hans Chaudhry, Bruce Bukiet, Max Roman, Antonio Stecco, Thomas FindleyResearchers used a mathematical model to investigate how manual therapy affects the fluid in and around fascia. The model focused on hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural lubricant in connective tissue. The results suggest th…

Vibration Induced Osteogenic Commitment of Mesenchymal Stem Cells is Enhanced by Cytoskeletal Remodeling but not Fluid Shear
Gunes Uzer, Suphannee Pongkitwitoon, M Ete Chan, Stefan JudexThis laboratory study investigated how mechanical vibrations encourage stem cells to develop into bone cells. Researchers tested two potential mechanisms: the force of fluid moving across the cells (fluid shear) and cha…

Role of Matrix-Rhythm-Therapy in the treatment of non-traumatic restricted movements of shoulder
Sandeep BhagwatThis study investigated the effectiveness of Matrix-Rhythm-Therapy (MRT) for treating shoulder pain and stiffness not caused by injury. Forty patients received one hour of MRT weekly for three weeks, combined with daily…
