A systematic review has verified that whole-body vibration would be beneficial for the management of osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease. The systematic review, published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines, indicated that whole body vibration would be especially beneficial in improving mobility and the function of people with the condition.
In conclusion, the findings suggest that whole body vibration exercises is a safe and effective way to improve the mobility and function of people with osteogenesis imperfecta.
