Flexibility/Range of Motion
Claim: Power Plate ® training can be a
beneficial tool/intervention to improve
flexibility and range of motion.
Definition: Flexibility is the absolute
range of movement in a joint or series of
joints and muscles that is attainable in a
momentary effort that could involve the
help of a partner or piece of equipment.
The flexibility of a joint depends on
many factors, particularly the length and
looseness of the muscles and ligaments
due to normal human variation, and the
shape of the bones and cartilage that
make up the joint.
Pathology Studies
Claim: Power Plate ® training can be a
beneficial tool/intervention to improve
general wellbeing, fitness and daily life
functioning in patient populations. The
Power Plate ® training will (probably) not
have any influence on the state of disease
or injury but it will have a positive effect
on general fitness, muscle strength,
daily life performance and wellbeing
that can improve the quality of life of
these patients.
Definition: No definition possible for this
very diverse group. Examples of patients:
Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease,
Fibromyalgia, Cerebral
Palsy, Spinal Cord Injury, Diabetes,
Cardiac Rehabilitation.
