title: [Dynamics of postural dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease under the action of vibrational therapy].
abstract: This experimental study was designed to reveal changes of the postural function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) under the action of vibrational therapy. It was shown that application of classical passive vibrostimulation employed under clinical conditions can be recommended to patients presenting with the rigid-trembling form of Parkinson's disease owing to the fact that their system of regulation of the vertical posture readily responds to vibration loading. This effect is attributable to low muscular activity.
