Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Whole body vibration/ Exercise
Exercise therapy and whole body vibration will be applied together for 8 weeks. Selected balance, coordination and walking exercises according to the individual needs of patients. Whole body vibration (20-30 Hz, minimum amplitude) will be applied to cases in the form of 4 sets (1 min application and 1min rest) before exercises. After 1 week washout period, exercise program will apply for 8 weeks.
Exercise therapy
Cases will take the treatment 1-hour, 3 days in a week for 8 weeks.
Whole body vibration
4 sets, 1 min application and 1min rest whole body vibration and after that exercises. Cases will take the treatment 1-hour, 3 days in a week for 8 weeks.
