Abstract

Introduction: flat foot is a disorder that reduces performance in people with different age groups. One of the new treatments is whole-body vibration. The main question is whether there is a significant difference according to the isokinetic muscle strength after whole body vibration intervention in different ages of growth and adults. Materials and Methods: 64 people with flexible flat feet were included in the study. People were divided into 4 intervention and control groups based on the age groups of growth and post-growth age. Then, in the intervention groups, 10 sessions of whole body vibration were applied 3 sessions per week in a standing position. In all participants, the isokinetic torque of the invertor and evertor muscles at angular velocities of 30 and 120 degrees/s were evaluated before and after the vibration intervention in two stages before and after applying general fatigue. Results: The results showed that before applying the whole-body vibration intervention, there was no significant difference between the control and intervention groups according to the maximum isokinetic torque parameter (P>0.05). The effect of fatigue parameter and angular velocity of isokinetic torque on the inverter and inverter muscle torque was significant (P<0.05). The isokinetic torque of the invertor and evertor muscles at both angles of 30 and 120 degrees after applying 10 sessions of whole-body vibration showed a significant improvement compared with before the intervention in both with and without fatigue (P<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that whole-body vibration can be effective as a relatively new modality in reducing the effects of fatigue during running and increasing the strength of ankle muscles in two age groups during growth and adulthood.
