Resumo

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disease, which leads to a decline in physical function, being spasticity one of the most recurrent symptoms in this population. In recent years, whole body vibration training (WBVT) has shown benefits in functional capacity, neuromuscular function or quality of life in people with MS. However, the acute effects of a WBVT session on variables such as spasticity are still unknown. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to analyze the acute effects of WBVT on knee spasticity, as well as to know the differences in this variable between the most and least affected leg after the session in people with MS. 13 subjects were part of this study. The WBVT session consisted of 12 series of 1-minute vibration with 1 minute rest between series in a static squat position. The frequency and amplitude were set at 35 Hz and 4 mm respectively. To measure the spasticity of the knee joint, the Pendulum Test was used before and after the session. No pre-post differences were found in any of the variables. However, the time of oscillation was significantly improved in the post-session in the less affected leg compared to the more affected one. Based on our results, it is evident that the response to a WBVT session is different both depending on the degree of disability and between the legs of the same patient. These results show that the individualization of WBVT is a matter of vital importance in the population with MS.
