Whole-body vibration enhances effectiveness of "locomotion training" evaluated in healthy young adult women.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
[Purpose] Locomotion training is recommended as a countermeasure against locomotive syndrome. Recently, whole-body vibration has been clinically applied in rehabilitation medicine. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the preliminary effectiveness of whole-body vibration on locomotion training. [Participants and Methods] Overall, 28 healthy adult females were randomly assigned to either a locomotion training group using a whole-body vibration device (whole-body vibration group, n=14) or training on the flat floor (non-whole-body vibration group: n=14). Participants conducted two sets of locomotion training twice a day and three times a week for 12 weeks. [Results] A significant difference was observed in the group factor for all outcome measures and in the before and after the training factor for Timed Up and Go test. After the training, knee muscle strength, dynamic balance, and mobility function in the whole-body vibration group were significantly improved compared with the non-whole-body vibration group. In the whole-body vibration group, the Timed Up and Go time after the training was significantly shorter compared with that before training. [Conclusion] The results suggest that locomotion training with whole-body vibration can improve the physical functions in healthy adult females and locomotion training using whole-body vibration might enhance the effectiveness of locomotion training.
