VibeTech explores partnerships to help slow Parkinson's progression

By Jeff Pederson • February 18, 2022
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. The Accelerated Movement for Parkinson’s “AMP” Project out of Gregory Boxing is a boxing program designed for people with Parkinson’s to use physical and mental exercise to better manage their lives with the disease. According to VibeTech’s Steve Bateman, exercise and physical activity are believed to promote neural plasticity for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, along with the potential to slow the disease’s progression. Boxing for Parkinson’s disease has recently received increased attention across the globe. Along with the positive impact of the AMP Project, VibeTech’s VibeSitPRO portable therapeutic vibration rehabilitation device is well-suited for use by people living with Parkinson’s disease. For information on the AMP program, contact Marty Maibuecher at maibuecher@asmchicago.com.

VibeTech launches collaborative study with Florida State University

By Jeff Pederson • January 28, 2022
VibeTech has entered into a new collaboration with Florida State University. VibeTech is working with Dr. Lynn Panton, Mia Kay Newlin Ph.D., RN., M.S.N., and Dr. Paul Katz, along with VibeTech’s Medical Advisor, Dr. Terry Sullivan on this collaboration. Dr. Panton’s research interests are in the area of exercise training and its effects on body composition, muscular strength and functional outcomes of healthy older adults and chronically diseased populations. Dr. Newlin-Bradner’s initial educational pursuits were in the field of exercise physiology. Dr. Newlin-Bradner then pursued nursing and obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Florida State University followed by an Master of Science degree in nursing education from Florida State University. Dr. Newlin-Bradner’s research interest is focused on the role of activity in the prevention and management of chronic disease, with a specific emphasis on women with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Dr. Katz has been practicing geriatrics for 36 years. He chose geriatrics because there was a great need for geriatric specialists, the patients’ medical conditions are complex and it is a fairly new specialty. Through the collaboration, VibeTech and the Florida State University will study the benefits of the VibeSitPro - a safe, pain-free way to activate muscles impacted by atrophy and restore physical function due to age, injury, or surgery for all ages. VibeTech is currently preparing to launch its new VibeSitPRO with the first five portable therapeutic vibration rehabilitation devices set to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022.

Older adults have increased strength, range of motion, foot sensation from VibeTech treatments

By Jeff Pederson • January 14, 2022
The results are in! In a local clinical study using VibeTech’s brand new AutoDosing™ therapeutic vibration protocol, neuropathy symptoms decreased significantly after each treatment. This builds on previous studies demonstrating increased strength, balance, range of motion and walking speed in older adults, as well as decreased pain and evidence of fewer falls in at-risk individuals. Strength is critically important to maintaining quality of life as a person ages, and the VibeSitPRO provides the ability for millions who have difficulty exercising to improve their strength. Study participant comments: · * I feel like I am doing something positive for my health. I am always in better spirits after I have a treatment. · * My ankles no longer hurt at the end of the day like they used to. · * I’m able to stand much longer. · * It feels like my legs are much looser. · * I notice it’s much easier to walk down the hallway after a treatment. · * My knee doesn’t give out as frequently as it used to. · * I love how the device makes my legs feel. VibeTech and collaborator Rocky Knoll Health Care Center in Plymouth, Wis. will launch the final phase of the long-term study with the delivery of the first two VibeSitPRO devices in early 2022.
