Abstract

Lumbar motor control is an important factor for the prevention and improvement of low back pain and the enhancement of sports performance. Interventions for lumbar motor control are complex and difficult; however, training with whole-body vibrations has the potential to be simple and effective. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the effects of 4 weeks of trunk training with whole-body vibrations on each component of lumbar motor control. This single-blind, randomized controlled trial recruited 24 healthy university students (12 males and 12 females) who were randomized to undergo either whole-body or non–whole-body vibration training. The lumbar motion angle and angular jerk cost were measured during each lumbar motor control task (pelvic tilting, ball-catching, and quadruped rocking). There was a significant group × period interaction for the lumbar spine motion angle in the anterior pelvic tilt; however, no significant group × period interaction was observed in the other tasks. Regarding the comparison of pre- and post-intervention outcomes in the whole-body vibration training group, the lumbar spine motion angle of the anterior pelvic tilt was significantly smaller post-intervention than pre-intervention. In the ball-catching task, the lumbar spine motion angle was significantly smaller post-intervention than pre-intervention. Backward rocking resulted in a significantly greater lumbar spine motion angle post-intervention than pre-intervention.

In conclusion, whole-body vibration enhances the control of decreasing lumbar motion. However, it does not improve all components of lumbar motor control and should be considered based on the target component.

期刊介绍： Human Movement Science provides a medium for publishing disciplinary and multidisciplinary studies on human movement. It brings together psychological, biomechanical and neurophysiological research on the control, organization and learning of human movement, including the perceptual support of movement. The overarching goal of the journal is to publish articles that help advance theoretical understanding of the control and organization of human movement, as well as changes therein as a function of development, learning and rehabilitation. The nature of the research reported may vary from fundamental theoretical or empirical studies to more applied studies in the fields of, for example, sport, dance and rehabilitation with the proviso that all studies have a distinct theoretical bearing. Also, reviews and meta-studies advancing the understanding of human movement are welcome. These aims and scope imply that purely descriptive studies are not acceptable, while methodological articles are only acceptable if the methodology in question opens up new vistas in understanding the control and organization of human movement. The same holds for articles on exercise physiology, which in general are not supported, unless they speak to the control and organization of human movement. In general, it is required that the theoretical message of articles published in Human Movement Science is, to a certain extent, innovative and not dismissible as just "more of the same."
