Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To verify the action of non-pharmacological interventions, whole body vibration exercise(WBVE) and auriculotherapy(AT) on the management of knee osteoarthritis(KOA) analyzing the handgrip strength(HS).METHODS: One hundred twelve participants with KOA were allocated in(a) WBVE group with peak-topeak displacement of 2.5 to 7.5 mm, frequency from 5 up to 14 Hz, acceleration peak from 0.12 up to 2.95 g(2 d/weekly for 5 weeks),(b) AT group,points of both ears(Kidney, Knee-correspondent point and Shenmen) were stimulated with seeds,(c) WBVE + AT group and(d) respective control groups.HS was assessed in all the participants, in acute and cumulative responses.RESULTS: The intervention with WBVE alone and combined with AT improved(P < 0.05), in a cumulative response, the HS.CONCLUSION: WBVE alone or combined with AT might promote biological effects that interfere with the HS in individuals with KOA.
