Abstract

The use of mechanical energies delivered in form of vibration therapy has raised more and more importance in neurorehabilitation, in view of the ability of vibration therapy to interact with neuromuscular system. The aim of this lecture will be to discuss the main experimental and clinical findings related to the application of segmental (or focal) vibration in neurorehabilitation.
