- Abstract
The article presents a study on the use of high-frequency, low-magnitude vibrations (HFLMV) to increase bone mass and muscle strength in disabled children. It discusses details of a clinical trial conducted at the Telethon Rehabilitation Institute and Neurorehabilitation Unit of Catholic University in Santiago, Chile to determine the impact of these vibrations on the autonomy of subject children. It explores the significance of the research in interventions for children with motor disabilities.
