The Acute Effects of Local Vibration Therapy on Ankle Sprain and Hamstring Strain Injuries

Segmental biomechanical muscle stimulation (BMS) therapy using the Swisswing device appears to have significant acute benefits for improving flexibility and reducing perceived stiffness in healthy adults with ankle or hamstring injury. Future research is needed to determine the duration of these effects and if repeated periods of segmental BMS therapy aid in long–term injury recovery.
