| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aimed to clarify the effect of vibration therapy for reducing chronic leg oedema by in chair-bound elderly individuals. Fourteen participants (intervention group, n=7; control group, n=7) completed the study. In intervention group, 2 were in the decreased group, 4 were in the no-changed group and 1 was in the increased group. Those who were in decreased group have more severe oedema at the baseline. No adverse events occurred during the study. These results suggested that vibration therapy might have an effect to reduce the chronic leg oedema in chair-bound elderly.
