Interventions

Intervention: A 6-week exercise program on a vertical vibration platform (Power-Plate, Badhoevedorp, The Netherlands), three times per week (with a minimum of 1-day rest in between) and consisting in

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All residents of a nursing home (Van Zanden, Brussels, Belgium; capacity of 102 beds) within dependence categories O, A and B according to the scale of Katz et al. (1963) for basic activities of daily living.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Mainly based on contra-indications for Whole Body Vibration: presence of infectious disease, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, endogenous osteosynthethical material, knee or hip prosthesis, pacemaker, epilepsy, musculo-skeletal disorders and cognitive or physical dysfunction interfering with test and training procedures.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Feasibility: taking into account continuation of the exercise program and/or occurence of complications related to the Whole Body Vibration exercises. Improvement due to the intervention: taking into account balance and gait (using the timed up-and-go test and Tinetti-test), upper limb and lower body flexibility (using the back scratch and chair sit-and-reach test), maximal grip strength (using a Martin vigorimeter device, Elmed, Addison, USA), closed chain bilateral leg extension (using a linear isokinetic multi-joint dynamometer, Aristokin®, Lode, Groningen, The Netherlands).	—
