Abstract
Primary muscle disorders form a group of very heterogeneous diseases in which the diseases’ underlying causes lie in the muscle tissue itself. Whole-body vibration is a novel, promising option of intensive muscle training in a short time. Yet, there are only a few systematic evaluations of the application of whole-body vibration for training purposes in children and adults with primary muscle disorders. It seemed to be well tolerated in subjects with primary muscle disorders. Further studies are needed to evaluate the short- and long-term therapeutic effect on the gross motor function in children and adults with primary muscle disorders.
