Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To present the clinical features of post traumatic arthrofibrosis and response to treatment with Vibromax Therapeutics (VMTX) in 28 year old male soccer player. RATIONALE: Many studies have reported an increase in muscle performance after whole-body vibration, but to date none have evaluated the possibility of vibration application as a therapy for functional restoration after injury. CONCLUSIONS: Vibration training is being utilized in, strength training, performance enhancement and rehabilitation. Despite the lack of research in this area, the literature that is currently available and the results of this case study imply that vibration therapy has the potential to aid in the management of acute soft tissue injury and the sequela of disuse and immobilization.
